Parameter Descriptions
- Passing parameters to the MSI package
- /v
The /v command-line parameter enables you to pass parameters supported by Windows Installer through setup.exe to the MSI package. For example, you can create and save a verbose log file to a location of your choice by passing the /L parameter through setup.exe to the MSI package. To create the log file, type:
where:E:\ZIEWin_pkgs\xxx\setup.exe /v"/L*v\"%temp%\pcsinst.log\"
E:
is your installation image drive.xxx
ismls
.
Note: The /v argument must be the last InstallShield parameter on the command line. Though supported Windows Installer parameters may be passed through to the MSI package, no InstallShield command-line parameters can follow the /v argument. - Running setup.exe silently
- /s
To prevent setup.exe from displaying a progress bar, use the /s command-line parameter. To have setup run silently with no dialogs, pass the Windows Installer /qn command-line parameter through setup.exe using the /v parameter. Refer to Microsoft's documentation of command-line parameters for other /q user interface options. To run a silent installation, type:
where:E:\install\xxx\install\ZIEWin\setup.exe /s /v"/L*v \"%temp%\pcsinst.log\" /qn"
E:
is your installation image drive.xxx
ismls
.
Note: You can pass an initialization file to the MSI package and run the installation silently using the /s /v /qn parameters in the following command:E:\install\xxx\install\ZIEWin\setup.exe /s /v" /L*v \"%temp%\pcsinst.log\" USEINI=\"C:\ZIE for Windows\ZIEWin.ini\" /qn"
where
xxx
ismls
.To install silently from source, where source medium is a network server, use the /s /v /qn parameters after pointing to the installation point in the command line.
To uninstall Z and I Emulator for Windows silently, use the /s parameter in conjunction with the /x parameter as shown in the following example:
where X: is the location of the Z and I Emulator for Windows installation directory.X:\install\ZIEWin\setup.exe /s /x
- Specifying the setup language
- /l
The /l command-line parameter enables you to specify what language to use during setup by using the appropriate decimal language identifier. For a list of language identifiers, see mlsdir.html#mlsdir. For example, to change the setup language to Czech, type:
E:\install\xxx\install\ZIEWin\setup.exe /l"1029"
- Administrative installation
- /a
Administrative installation installs a source image to the network server. This enables users with access to the network to install Z and I Emulator for Windows directly from the network server.
- Advertise mode
- /j
Advertisement enables users to install features of Z and I Emulator for Windows when they need them rather than during setup. Features that are available for installation are advertised with shortcuts on the user's system for later installation.
- Uninstall mode
- /x
Uninstall mode removes Z and I Emulator for Windows from your system.
- Repair mode
- /f
Launching setup.exe in the repair mode checks the key file of every installed feature and reinstalls any feature that is determined to be missing, corrupt, or an older version.
