      Automating Product Installation

      Sometimes it is needed to install a product from the command line silently. This is very useful for distributing a product to multiple clients in order to automate the deployment to a large number of machines in the network.

      Installation

      All coolOrange setups are bootstrappers of type EXE (except powerGateServer which is a MSI installer) and only supports the standard options of MSIEXEC.

      To install them without a user interface run following command. In this example powerEvents v20 for Vault 2020:

      Command Line

      "Path\to\powerEvents20.0_Vault2020.exe" -silent ACCEPT_EULA=1
      Installing from a network location:
      "\\path\to\networkLocation\powerEvents20.0_Vault2020.exe" -silent ACCEPT_EULA=1

       PowerShell

      & "C:\Path\To\powerEvents24.0_Vault2024.exe" -silent ACCEPT_EULA=1

      Installing from a network location

      & "\\Path\To\networkLocation\powerEvents24.0_Vault2024.exe" -silent ACCEPT_EULA=1

      powerGate

      powerGate v23 automatically installs powerJobs Client and a demo environment. In order to install only powerGate you can use the following:

      "C:\Path\to\powerGate25.0_Vault2025.exe" -silent ACCEPT_EULA=1 VAULT_ERP_INTEGRATION=0

      In powerGate v24.0.2 and newer versions this was changed to

      "C:\Path\to\powerGate25.0_Vault2025.exe" -silent ACCEPT_EULA=1 MAIN_COMPONENTS_ONLY=1

      Uninstallation

      Run this command to uninstall a product. the -silent parameter means that the product gets uninstalled without interacting with the user:

      Command Line

      "C:\Path\to\powerEvents20.0_Vault2020.exe" -uninstall -silent

      PowerShell

      & "C:\Path\To\powerEvents24.0_Vault2020.exe" -uninstall -silent

      Remarks

      If permissions are missing a User Account Dialog could be shown when installing silently. To avoid that you can run the command as an administrator.
