Silent installation of FileDirector WinClient / Component Services

Created by Jeremy Burgess, Modified on Tue, 22 Oct at 2:24 PM by Jeremy Burgess

Symptoms

You want to install FileDirector software silently. Typically this would be for remote / centrally managed deployment.

Cause

n/a

Resolution

Use the MSI for installation and use the /quiet command line switch.

FileDirector_WinClient.msi /quiet
"FileDirector Component Service.msi" /quiet

The app.xml file which is to be found in the installation media folder will provide the details app settings for each component. Typically these are used to control the default server URL for new installations and the Windows Authentication setting.


This corresponds with the following lines in app.xml:

<add key="ServerURL" value=http://localhost/filedirector />
<add key="UseWindowsLogin" value="True" />
