Install Silently

To install CA ControlMinder without interactive feedback, you can install CA ControlMinder silently using the command line.

To install CA ControlMinder silently

1. Log in to the Windows system as a user with Windows administrative privileges (that is, as the Windows administrator or a member of the Windows Administrators group.)
2. Close any applications that are running on your Windows system.
3. Insert the CA ControlMinder Endpoint Components for Windows DVD into your optical disc drive.

   The CA ControlMinder Product Explorer appears if you have autorun enabled.

4. Close the Product Explorer if it appears.
5. Open a command line and navigate to the following directory on the optical disc drive:

   \architecture
   

   architecture

   Defines the architecture abbreviation for your operating system.

   Can be one of X86, X64, and IA64.

6. Enter the following command:

   setup /s /v"/qn COMMAND=keyword <insert_params_here>"
   

   The <insert_params_here> variable specifies the installation settings you want to pass to the installation program.

   Note: To execute a silent installation you have to accept the license agreement. The keyword required for accepting the license agreement and silently installing CA ControlMinder is found at the bottom of the license agreement available when running the installation program.
