-
At each workstation on which you want to install the software, open a Command Prompt window and type the silent installation command according to the following syntax:
"<setup source folder path>\SPEM_setup.exe" /install /silent INSTALLFOLDER="<path>" /log "<log file path and name>.log" SLAACCEPT="YES" ADDLOCAL="ALL"
Ensure that the command line includes spaces where shown before and after arguments.
-
Double quotes are required only if the path to the setup file contains spaces.
-
Argument values are case sensitive.
-
Mandatory arguments are validated by the setup procedure. If an argument or option is missing, the setup stops and a log is produced with the name of the missing argument.
Example command line for Smart Admin installation:
"\\SPEMInstall\Setup Files\SPEM_setup.exe" /install /silent INSTALLFOLDER="C:\Program Files (x86)\SmartPlant" /log" C:\Setup.log" SLAACCEPT="YES" ADDLOCAL="ALL"
