Question: I am an administrator and have to install Hugin on a large number of computers. Is it possible to perform a silent installation that requires no user interaction?
Answer: Yes this is possible with installation packages that ends with '.msi'.
This is the command line:
msiexec /i <hugin-installer>.msi /quiet PACKAGE_NAME="<insert packagename>" USER_NAME="<insert username>" ORGANIZATION="<insert organization>" SERIAL_NUMBER="<insert serial>" HUGINROOT=<target install dir>If the parameter
HUGINROOT is omitted, Hugin will be installed in <programfiles folder>\Hugin Expert\<hugin dist name>
A few notes:
-
The license info is not checked for validity during a silent installation (verify this manually by doing a regular point-and-click installation before rolling out).- In case the installation fails, it will fail silently and no dialog will appear to inform the user. (but the target computer will remain unchanged)
- The PACKAGE_NAME property is needed from version 7.7
