Silent Install Options

Deployment Solution
Details
Function: Allows you to create a setup.ini file used for automation or a
silent install
Example:
axinstall -i
Function: Allows you to run a silent install (where the install application
executes without asking for user input) and read setting from an INI file.
See Silent Install Options
Example:
axinstall -t c:\silent.ini
Sample Silent.INI file:
[SilentInstall]
ProgramFiles=C:\Program Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment
Server\
LicenseFile=axinstall.lic
Username=Administrator
Password=
DOSBootFilesPath=
You can add parameters for a silent install using an INI file that is accessed and used by
the axinstall executable. The INI file can be named anything, but for the following
section it will be identified as SILENT.INI. This file can be modified to directly input
values when running an install without user interaction.
axinstall.exe -t <INI filename>
Example:
axinstall -t c:\silent.ini
To add the ability to provide all inputs from a Simple Install, Custom Install, or an Add
Component install, the
Silent.ini
for each type of install.
By adding Version and InstallType entries to the [SilentInstall] group, Deployment
Solution can identify if its working with an old SILENT.INI file or a new file. The old file
type will be supported for backward compatibility and will continue to function.
Note
The silent.ini file cannot have comments or blank lines between the header line and the
key/value pairs.
