3.1. Silent Installation

As with all MSI based setups, you can also install the IDERI note components with a silent setup. The recommended way to do so is to call msiexec with the /qn command line parameter. If you need the progress bar feedback from your installation you should use the /passive parameter (this parameter is not available on some older versions of Windows® Installer). You can also use the /qb parameter that shows a progress bar that can optionally be canceled. Note that you should not use the /qb parameter when installing the IDERI note client on Windows® Vista or later operating system versions when updating from an older version of the client, because in this scenario, the Windows® Vista Restart Manager might come into your way. Instead, use the command line parameters /qn or /passive in this scenario.

3.1.1. Examples for silent installation:

To get the MSI files for the individual IDERI note components you must extract the inote.exe as described in chapter 3.

Example 1: Client installation (Standard)

This example will install the IDERI note client in its standard configuration. It is assumed that the intclnt.msi is present in the C:\temp directory. Additionally it will write a logfile for the installation to the temp folder of the user executing the command.

Command line example (line-breaks in command line are for readability only):

msiexec.exe /i "C:\temp\intclnt.msi" /passive
    /l*v "%temp%\intclnt_installation.log"

Example 2: Client installation (using MST file)

This example will perform a customized IDERI note client installation by specifing a MSI transform file (mst) which has been generated with the IDERI note Client Customization Wizard in advance. It is assumed that the intclnt.msi, the intclnt.mst and the clntlogo.cab, also generated by the IDERI note Client Customization Wizard, are present in the C:\temp directory. Additionally it will write a logfile for the installation to the temp folder of the user executing the command.

Command line example (line-breaks in command line are for readability only):

msiexec.exe /i "C:\temp\intclnt.msi" TRANSFORMS="C:\temp\intclnt.mst"
    /passive /l*v "%temp%\intclnt_installation.log"

Example 3: Client installation (using MSI properties)

This example will perform a customized IDERI note client installation by specifing MSI properties. (A complete list of possible MSI properties for the intclnt.msi can be found in chapter 8.3) It is assumed that the intclnt.msi is present in the C:\temp directory. Additionally it will write a logfile for the installation to the temp folder of the user executing the command. The IDERI note client will thereby be customized as followed:

• The client should always connect to the IDERI note server “srv01.note.dev”
• The feature to display messages on the Windows® logon screen should be installed
• The polling interval of the client should be set to 1 minute (60000ms)

Command line example (line-breaks in command line are for readability only):

msiexec.exe /i "C:\temp\intclnt.msi" SERVERNAME="srv01.note.dev"
    STARTWINLOGONCLIENTS=1 POLLINGMS=60000 /passive
    /l*v "%temp%\intclnt_installation.log"
