Deploying DTI Using Silent Installation
Users can download and install the Windchill Desktop Integration add-in individually. For more information, see Desktop Integration Add-In.
Before deploying Desktop Integration, download the DTI installer:
• Navigate to Quick Links > Software Downloads. On the Software Downloads page, click Windchill Desktop Integration (32-bit) or Windchill Desktop Integration (64-bit) depending on your operating system.
or
• Navigate to codebase\install\msoi and copy setup.msi to a shared network location or local drive.
* 
The Windchill Desktop Integration installer is compatible with Microsoft System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). For more information on using SCCM, see the following link:
MsiExec
You can use the Windows MsiExec.exe command line tool to silently install Desktop Integration. For more information about MsiExec.exe command line options, see the following link:
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988(v=vs.85).aspx
From the client machine, execute the following command:
msiexec /i <Path to installer>\setup.msi /l*v install.log /q
This silently installs Desktop Integration with default setting and creates a log file named install.log
To perform a custom installation, use the ADDLOCAL property. This property accepts a comma-separated list of features to install:
VCRedist
Required
This is a required feature. If you are using the ADDLOCAL property, you must include VCRedist in your list.
Explorer
Optional
Enable Windows Explorer integration with Desktop Integration. This allows you to browse for Windchill documents from Windows Explorer.
Word
Optional
Add the Windchill tab to the application ribbon in Microsoft Word.
Excel
Optional
Add the Windchill tab to the application ribbon in Microsoft Excel.
PowerPoint
Optional
Add the Windchill tab to the application ribbon in Microsoft PowerPoint.
Outlook
Optional
Add the Windchill tab to the application ribbon in Microsoft Outlook.
For example, the following command silently installs Desktop Integration, but does not include support for the Microsoft Outlook application:
msiexec /i <DTI file path>\setup.msi ADDLOCAL=VCRedist,Explorer,Word,Excel,PowerPoint /l*v install.log /q
PsExec
PsExec is a free command-line tool that allows administrators to execute commands on remote systems. For more information and to download PsExec.exe, see the following link:
https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897553.aspx
To perform remote installations, you can use PsExec to leverage the native MsiExec utility described above. For example, to install DTI on the remote computer named LAPTOP_J, use the following command:
psexec \\LAPTOP_J msiexec /i <Path to installer>\setup.msi /l*v install.log /q
When the installation is complete, you should receive the following message: msiexec exited on LAPTOP-J with error code 0

You must be signed in as a user who has administrative privileges on the target system.
