Customized MSI Installation of System Manager
By customizing installation parameters, administrators can invoke different
installation scripts to selectively install or uninstall System Manager features on
different computers using the same installation package, dcpsysmgr.msi. The
ADDLOCAL and REMOVE CLI parameters allow administrators to customize
specific System Manager features for silent or non-silent (dialog boxes
displayed) unattended installation or uninstallation.
The command-line is:
msiexec.exe /i dcpsysmgr.msi {/qn | /qr | /qb}
[ADDLOCAL=feature1,feature2... | ALL] [REMOVE=
feature1,feature2... | ALL] [REBOOT=ReallySuppress]
• ADDLOCAL : Add specific features or all features
•
REMOVE : Remove or do not install features
•
/qn : "Silent"—Specifies no user interface (unattended and silent
installation)
•
/qr : "Reduced"—Specifies a reduced user interface (unattended installation
while displaying dialogs showing installation progress)
•
/qb : "Basic"—Specifies a basic user interface (unattended installation while
displaying a basic progress bar)
•
REBOOT=ReallySuppress : Suppress all reboots and reboot prompts
during the installation
