Upgrade in Silent Mode Using Installer

You can upgrade to AVEVA Work Tasks 2023 R3 in silent mode from the following version:

• AVEVA Work Tasks 2023 SP1

• AVEVA Work Tasks 2023

Upgrade Procedure

Change the directory to the folder where the AVEVA Work Tasks installer EXE is located and then run the following commands to install silently.

The syntax for running the AVEVA Work Tasks installer from the command line in PowerShell is as follows:

"<Installer EXE Name>".exe /S /v/qn

For example: "AVEVA Work Tasks 2023 R2.exe" /S /v/qn

where:

• /S denotes silent install

• /v denotes pass arguments to Msiexec (Basic MSI and InstallScript MSI projects). The /v option is used to pass command line options and values of public properties to Msiexec.exe.

• /qn denotes an msiexec switch indicating to run with no user interface (UI).

This command string takes the default values for parameters, such as user name, installation location, and company name.

This command considers the default settings for the upgrade. The installer automatically detects the current installation path and then performs the upgrade in the same path. For example: If the product was installed in a custom path, then the upgrade also happens in the same custom path.

The progress of the silent mode upgrade will not be displayed in the Command Prompt. However, the upgrade continues in the background. If you want the Command Prompt to be in waiting mode till the upgrade is complete, execute the following command in a .bat file.

echo off

"AVEVA Work Tasks 2023 R2.exe" /S /v/qn

if %ERRORLEVEL% EQU 0 (echo AVEVA Work Tasks 2023 R2 upgrade installation completed successfully)

Note: In scenarios where the AVEVA Work Tasks binaries/files are already open or are being used by any application, then the server might be automatically restarted after silent upgrade.
