- Update via switch: same as installation, but with a new installation file, like
.\caseguardstudio-9.x.x.exe /exenoui /qn
- Uninstall without UI :
.\caseguardstudio-9.x.x.exe /x // /qn
- Install it to the computer level via a switch: Now default of silent installation will be per machine.
Use MSIINSTALLPERUSER=1 for per-user.
Use ALLUSERS=1 for per machine, if the default failed.
For example: .\caseguardstudio-9.x.x.exe /exenoui /qn ALLUSERS=1
- They can be used together. For example
.\caseguardstudio-9.x.x.exe /exenoui /qn ADDLOCAL=main,ocr ALLUSERS=1
- If the installer encounters errors during installation, a log can be created for the developer to diagnose the issue. To create a log file during installation, run the following command:
.\caseguardstudio-9.0.0.exe /L*V "studio_installation.log"
- Once you have entered the command press enter and the silent install will begin. The installation will take a few minutes, after a few minutes check Add or Remove programs to ensure the installation is completed.
