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
"\\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
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.
