Silent Installation

A silent installation is useful when you need to install the product automatically without any user intervention. To install the product in silent mode, use the /s command line switch with the setup.exe command. For example, enter the following command from the command line:

d:\Plexsetup\setup.exe /s

or

d:\Plexsetup\setup /s /f1".\setup64.iss"

where d:\ is the drive letter for your CD-ROM.

The first command performs a typical installation of the CA Plex product to the default installation directory on 32-bit Windows. The second command performs an installation on 64-bit Windows.

If you run the silent install using a command-line window on Windows Vista or Windows 2008, you must open the command-line window prompt as an administrator, even if you are already logged on as an administrator.

To uninstall CA Plex in silent mode, use the following command.

On 32-bit Windows:

d:\Plexsetup\setup.exe /s /f1".\setupUnInstall.iss"

On 64 bit Windows:

d:\Plexsetup\setup /s /f1".\setup64UnInstall.iss"
