There are several ways to launch command lines.

This document talks only about command files (.cmd extension).

These command files must be run as Administrator, because most of installation operations requires elevated privileges.

We therefore consider using following elements:

• DVD or ISO file using drive letter D:
• Create folder named C:\Log, to store log files. This folder must exist to be used.
• A command file created on user desktop C:\Users\<user>\Desktop\Silent.cmd (this file must be run as administrator).

Installation process

The installation consists in several steps.

• FrontVue prerequisite: Installed only once, and before FrontVue installation.
• FrontVue.

This article will discuss only about First installation and Update. Silent install can also be used for Reparation and Uninstallation.

Command lines samples

The command lines need to be written in the Silent.cmd file.

1 – FrontVue prerequisites

The first step of a first installation is to install the prerequisites.

Start /wait D:\Prerequisite\PrqFv.exe /quiet /norestart /NoPrompt SilentMode=1

2 – FrontVue first install or update

By default installation

The following command line install FrontVue by default, with the installation language set to French.

The by default installation language is English. You can change it by using the /L parameter followed by the language code you wish.

Using a specific installation language changes the installation behavior for the following:

– Shortcuts created in the given language
– Default language setting for creating a new project (1st language = installation language, 2nd language = English)

Here below all supported language codes :

Start /wait D:\Frontvue\Setup.exe /clone_wait /L1036 /s /v”/quiet /norestart /l*v C:\Log\Install.log”

corresponds to FrontVue installation.
