Command Line Installation

1. Download and extract the contents of the .zip to your local drive.

   IMPORTANT: Do not attempt the following from within the .zip folder.

2. After the file is extracted to an unzip folder on the endpoint system, open a command prompt window on the endpoint system (Run as administrator) and type your command line following the examples below.

Important: All property names must be UPPERCASE on the command line.

Important: Users may be required to run the msi logged on and run with Run as administrator.

Command Line Properties

All properties must be UPPERCASE on the command line.

1. REBOOT

   1. If there is no user interface (silent mode) performing an install, reinstall, upgrade or uninstall, the system automatically restarts at each ForceReboot action (for example, caused by an attempt to install a file in use). You can suppress certain prompts and actions for restarts by setting the REBOOT property.

   2. Set the property REBOOT=R (or REBOOT=ReallySuppress to help understand its purpose) to suppress all restarts and restart prompts initiated by the ForceReboot action.

      Note: the installer only evaluates the first character of the REBOOT property.

   3. To determine if a system reboot is needed, simply add the /L*v switch to create a log file when performing a silent mode installation and search for entries that indicate a system reboot is required.

      1. Key words to search for are:  System restart and Reboot.

      2. Search results:

         Info 1903.Scheduling reboot operation: Deleting file c:\Config.Msi\3c4d50f.rbf. Must reboot to complete operation.

         MSI (s) (EC:A0) [16:38:48:595]: The Windows Installer initiated a system restart to complete or continue the configuration of ‘SysTrack Data Relay’.

         Property(S): MsiSystemRebootPending = 1

2. SERVICEUSER

   1. Default is “”.

   2. Enter the  under which the service will be logged on.

      Example: DomainName\

3. SERVICEPASSWORD

   1. Default is “”.

   2. Enter a password for this service.

First Time Install Steps

Download and extract the contents of the .zip to your local drive.

Msiexec.exe /i “<enter path>\SysTrack Data Relay.msi” REBOOT=R SERVICEUSER=<DomainName\UserName> SERVICEPASSWORD=<enter a password> /L*v c:\temp\DataRelay_install.log

NOTE: Silent Mode Installation requires the /qn switch
