Silent Full Application Installation on a Client Computer
If desired, you can silently install the full desktop application on a client computer.
1. From the application server, copy the file for installing Windchill Risk and Reliability from where you have placed it onto the client computer. The name of this file is WindchillRiskandReliability12.0.exe.
The examples in this topic assume that you have copied this file to a folder named Temp on the C:\ drive of the client computer.
2. If desired, to open a window that displays the supported parameters for this silent installation, do the following:
a. Press the Windows icon key +R keys. The Run window opens.
b. For Open, type the directory path immediately followed by WindchillRiskandReliability12.0.exe /?.
For example, type:
C:\Temp\WindchillRiskandReliability12.0.exe /?
c. Click OK or press Enter.
d. When finished viewing these parameter descriptions, click OK.
3. To silently install the full application, do the following:
a. Press the Windows icon key +R keys. The Run window opens.
b. For Open, type the directory path to the executable file immediately followed by the desired installation command.
For example, type:
C:\Temp\WindchillRiskandReliability12.0.exe /SERVERDIR=\\SERVER_NAME\Windchill Risk and Reliability 12.0
If you did not want shortcuts to be created on the client computer, you would type:
C:\Temp\WindchillRiskandReliability12.0.exe /SERVERDIR=\\SERVER_NAME\Windchill Risk and Reliability 12.0/NOSHORTCUTS
c. Click OK or press Enter.
Providing that you have entered a valid command, the desktop application is silently installed. As indicated earlier, if any errors occur, they are written to the Windows Application Event Log.
