Issue
Silent install does not work when using the /qn switch in the batch file.
Product Line
Control Expert 14
Environment
Windows10
Resolution
If you start Control Expert after installing the software using the silent install batch file modified to run with the /qn switch,
it will not start.
The reason this occurs is due to the batch file does not contain the instructions for installing the DTM libraries prior to
installing the Control Expert software.
The following section within the bach file needs to be edited to fix the issue:
- Open the Install.bat file with WordPad.
- Locate the following section:
ECHO.
echo Install of Control Expert itself
ECHO.
echo .
echo .
echo .
MSIEXEC /i "%DIRMSI%\Control Expert Setup.msi" %TRANSFORMBLOCK% DRIVER_REQUIRED=%DRIVER_REQUIRED_VALUE% SESU_REQUIRED=%SESU_REQUIRED_VALUE% INSTALLDIR_SILENT=%INSTALLPATH% /qr /L*v C:\logsilentup.txt
echo .
