Software Installer Options

The EXE and MSI installers support installation options in the list below. When using the MSI installer, you must supply the options with the WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS property, since the MSI is a wrapper of the EXE installer. Below are install commands with identical options provided to the EXE and MSI installers. The MSI installer includes /VERYSILENT, /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES, and /NORESTART by default, so you do not need to specify them.

  • fvp_setup_5.1.0.17ent.exe /VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES /NORESTART /DIR="C:\Install\To\File Viewer Plus 5"
  • msiexec.exe /i fvp_setup_5.1.0.17ent.msi /quiet WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS="/DIR=""C:Install\To\File Viewer Plus 5"""

You should always specify /VERYSILENT, /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES, and /NORESTART to the EXE installer for silent installation.

When supplying WRAPPED_ARGUMENTS values with quote (") characters at the command line, you must duplicate the quotes.

/DIR="X:\installation\directory"
