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 require 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.

• Common prerequisite: Installed only once, and first of all.
• Core prerequisite: Installed only once, and before Core installation. Not needed if Core does not need to be installed.
• Core. If needed.
• Web deployment tools (WDT). If needed.
• Patch: For the first install, it must be installed after Core and/or Wdt. For patching, it will be installed alone.

This article will discuss only about First installation, Update and Patch. Silent install can also be used for Reparation, Modification (Add and/or remove features) and Uninstallation. See complete reference guide for more information.

Command lines samples

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

1 – Common and Core prerequisites

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

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

Start /wait D:\Prerequisite\PrqCore.exe /quiet /norestart /NoPrompt

2 – Core and Wdt first install or update

By default installation

The following command lines install Core and Wdt 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
– Online Help, Library, Quick Start and Demo projects installed (when data exists for a given language)
– Default language setting for creating a new project (1st language = installation language, 2nd language = English)

Below each supported language codes:

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

corresponds to installation without any additional feature:

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

correspond to Wdt installation:

Customized installation: Change the Features

Customization is only available for Core. Wdt does not offer custom setup type.

• Features preselection

This method allows preselecting any feature proposed on StartScreen

Start /wait D:\Core\Setup.exe /clone_wait /s /v”/quiet /norestart ADDFEATURE=<list of preselected features> /l*v C:\Log\Install.log”

For example:

To install basis program files, excluding database manager, with Web & Mobile access, Geolocation back end, Instant Messaging and Libraries, you must use this instruction:

Start /wait D:\Core\Setup.exe /clone_wait /s /v”/quiet /norestart ADDFEATURE=Web,Lib /l*v C:\Log\Install.log”

In not-silent mode, this would correspond to the following user choices during installation:

The table below list the mnemonics corresponding to each available preselection

3 – Core and Wdt Patch

There is only one command line, since patches are distributed as bundles embedding both Core and WDT patches.

Start /wait “” “D:\Patch\12.0.22_PcVue_Patch for 12.0.17 or later.exe” /quiet /norestart

First Installation case

In case of first installation, you need first to install Core and/or Wdt, using commands above, then the patch, if it exists.

If the patch exist, you will find it in the Patch directory of the DVD
