4 Installing in Silent Mode

The installation tool uses the automatic installation feature of the Windows installer (msiexec). The silent installation can be executed for the Agile e6 Java Client, Agile e6 AutoVue Integration, and the Agile e6 Office Suite.

The command for executing the installation in silent mode is:

msiexec.

The following are the msiexec variables:

msiexec Variable	Description
/qb	Reduces the graphical interface to show only the progress bar during the installation with msi.
/i name.msi	Installation for the respective name of the client.
ALLUSERS=2	Default for a pre-machine installation.
TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Oracle\Agile xxx Client"	Target path for the installation.
JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jre8_<version_number>"	Path to the installed 32-bit Java 8 JRE.
DISABLEADVTSHORTCUTS=1	Allows modification of the target field in the properties of the shortcut link for the Windows and Java Client.

4.1 Java Client

1. Unpack <installation_package_root>\packages\intel-ms-nt6.1\clientjavamsi.zip.

   The file JavaClient.msi can be found in the directory axalant\bin\intel-ms-nt6.1.

2. Execute the silent installation for the Java Client:

   Example:

   msiexec /qb /i JavaClient.msi ALLUSERS=2 JAVA_HOME="C:\Program
   Files\Java\jre_8_<version_number>" TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Oracle\Agile Java Client"
   

4.1.1 Agile e6 AutoVue Integration

Note: A 64 bit Java 8 JRE is required to run the Agile e6 AutoVue Integration.

1. Unpack <installation_package_root>\packages\intel-ms-nt6.1\clientjvuemsi.zip.

   The file JVue.msi can be found in the directory axalant\bin\intel-ms-nt6.1.

2. Execute the silent installation for the Agile e6 AutoVue Integration.

   Example:

   msiexec /qb /i JVue.msi ALLUSERS=2 JAVA_HOME="C:\Program Files\Java\jre8_<version_number>" TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Oracle\Agile JVue"
   

4.2 Office Suite

The path <OFS_INSTALL> points to the Oracle Office Suite for Agile EDM installation package.

Example:

axalant\bin\intel-ms-nt6.1\office2010

4.2.1 Installation Privileges

Note: The cmd shell, from where all the Office Suite installation tasks are executed, always has to be started with Run as administrator even if you are doing the installation as the Administrator User.

To open the cmd shell with Run as administrator, do the following:

1. Select Start > All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt.

2. Select Command Prompt and from the context menu, select Run as administrator.

   The User Account Control screen appears.

3. Apply the needed credentials if asked and select Yes/Continue to go ahead.

   The Windows cmd shell is opened. This is the shell you have to use for all the Office Suite installation tasks.

4.2.2 Office Suite Installation Binaries

1. Unpack the Zip file for the respective Office Suite version:

   Microsoft Office 2010	<installation_package_root>\packages\intel-ms-nt6.1\officesuite2010.zip
   Microsoft Office 2013	<installation_package_root>\packages\intel-ms-nt6.1\officesuite2013.zip

   
   

2. Check the prerequisites and installation requirements.

   For detailed information on the prerequisites and installation requirements refer to the Prerequisites Guide for Agile e6.1.3.0.

3. Execute the prerequisite checks.

4. If the prerequisite checks are successful, execute the silent installation:

   Example:

   msiexec /qb /i GDMAddin2010Setup.msi ALLUSERS=2 TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Agile_e6\Office Suite"
   msiexec /qb /i GDMAddin2013Setup.msi ALLUSERS=2 TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Agile_e6\Office Suite"
   

4.2.2.1 Options of the Windows Installer

• /qb

  Reduces the graphical interface to only show a progress bar during the installation of the msi.

• /i name.msi

  Indicates that this is an installation for name.

• ALLUSERS=2

  Defaults to a per-machine installation.

  For more information, see http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367559(VS.85).aspx, or

  http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa371865(VS.85).aspx

• TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Agile_e6\Office Suite": installation target

Example:

• Installation for Microsoft Office 2010

  msiexec /qb /i GDMAddin2010Setup.msi ALLUSERS=2 TARGETDIR="C:\Program Files\Agile_e6\Office Suite"

Note: The installation tool checks all the prerequisites, except for the Microsoft Office application.

Note: Only the installation progress bar is displayed during the installation.

4.2.3 Standalone Tool for Checking the Prerequisites

An additional tool for checking the Office Suite prerequisites can be found at the following location:

<installation_package_root>\addon\officesuite\officecheck.zip

This tool can be used without the need to copy the whole installer to a client machine.

Note: The Office Suite check requires an installed 32-bit Java Runtime Environment Version 8 (JRE) to execute the checks.

1. Extract the officecheck.zip file on the client machine.

2. Start a cmd shell as administrator.

3. The environment variable JAVA_HOME needs to be set to the path where the Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is installed.

   Example C:\Program Files\Java\jre8_<version_number>

4. To check for all supported Office versions, execute the following command:

   officecheck.cmd
   

   
   

   Note: The tool will check for all supported Office versions.

   
   

5. To check for specific Office versions, execute one of the following commands:

   • For Microsoft Office 2010

     officecheck.cmd 2010

   • For Microsoft Office 2013

     officecheck.cmd 2013
