Examples

Example 1

This example installs a CMS. The installation folder is C:\CA DataMinder. The primary administrator is frankschaeffer (password: dsf8534mnfg).

msiexec /i <Path>\server.msi 
  INSTALLDIR="C:\CA DataMinder"
  WGNADMINUSERNAME=frankschaeffer
  WGNADMINPASSWORD=dsf8534mnfg
  WGNSERVERTYPE=CMS

Example 2

This example silently installs a client machine to C:\Program Files\CA DataMinder. The parent server is CMS‑HARDY. The installation also includes two transforms.

msiexec /i <Path>\client.msi /qn
  INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\CA DataMinder"
  WGNPARENTSERVERNAME="CMS-HARDY"
  TRANSFORMS=ClientLockDown.mst;
  EnableAppmon.mst

Example 3

This example silently uninstalls a client machine but retains the local database:

msiexec /x <Path>\client.msi /qn WGNDELETEDATABASE=0

Example 4

This example ensures that new users are always added to the ‘Sales’ group:

msiexec /i <Path>\client.msi /qn
  WGNDEFAULTUSERGROUPPATH=Users/Sales
