Silent Mode Installation

What is Silent Mode Installation

Silent-mode installation allows you to define an installation configuration and then use the configuration to install without any user interaction. During installation in silent mode, the installation program reads the settings and performs the installation procedure accordingly in the background. The installation program does not display any configuration options during the installation process.

Install OpenPlant Support Engineering in Silent Mode

For an example, the installer setup is placed at the location:

C:\ATP\100900206en1\product\

The name of setup exe file is:

Setup_OpenSupportEngineeringx64_10.09.00.206.exe

Open the Command Prompt and enter the following command for silent installation:

C:\ATP\100900206en1\product\Setup_OpenPlantSupportEngineeringx64_10.09.00.206.exe -q -s -norestart

This command will execute a silent installation at the default path using default settings. If you want to define the Installation and configuration directories then use the following syntax:

C:\ATP\100900206en1\product\Setup_OpenPlantSupportEngineeringx64_10.09.00.206.exe InstallDirectory="C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenPlant CONNECT Edition\SupportEngineering" ConfigurationDirectory="C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenPlant CONNECT Edition" -q -s -norestart

Note: This is a single command.
