/FILE Parameter
You can use the /FILE parameter to save yourself from having to enter the parameters on each client computer. Using the /FILE parameter also ensures consistent setup of all client computers. Assume that you have used Notepad to create a text file named client_install.txt directly on the C:\ drive. In this text file, you have typed the following:
/SERVERDIR=SERVER_NAME /NETWORKFILES=”\\SERVER_NAME\Windchill Risk and Reliability 12.0\Samples”/INSTALLDIR=”C:\Windchill Risk and Reliability 12.0 Team” /NOSHORTCUTS
To silently install the desktop application using the parameters in this text file, in the Run window, type:
C:\Temp\WindchilRiskandReliability12.0.exe /FILE=”C:\client_install.txt”
On the client computer, the directory path to which the desktop application is installed would be C:\Windchill Risk and Reliability 12.0 Team. No desktop or Start menu shortcuts would be created. Additionally, when Windchill Risk and Reliability was started, Directories > Data files directory in the Options window would be \\SERVER_NAME\Windchill Risk and Reliability 12.0\Samples.
