Issue:

Silent Workstation Installation Using Command Line Parameters

Product:

Pearl Echo 6.0

Applies to:

All Builds

Solution:

  1. Copy the contents of the Workstation folder on the source CD to a local drive or network share.
  2. Select All files in the new directory and remove the Read-only attribute.
  3. Create a file called firsttime.txt in the new directory.
  4. Edit the file servset.ini in the new directory and specify the server IP and Port that you entered during the Pearl Echo Server Software installation. In addition you will need to specify your configuration preference - open or closed.
    Example:
    [Echo 6.0 settings]
    IP=192.168.0.1
    Port=57000
    Configuration=open
  5. On the workstation run the command <path>\Setup.exe /s /v"/qn" where <path> is the file path to the new directory (note: do not change spacing format around quotation marks)


Example of running a silent install from a login script. Installation is run one time for each machine.
@echo off
'Checking for first time on target machine
if exist c:\firsttime.txt goto vend
copy \\servername\sharename\firsttime.txt c:\firsttime.txt
\\servername\sharename\Setup.exe /s /v"/qn"
:vend
