Running connect installer in Silent Mode
PrintShop Mail Connect can be installed in a so called "silent mode" to allow an automated
setup during a company wide roll-out or comparable situations. The trigger for the Connect
Installer to run in silent mode is a text file with the fixed name install.properties, which is
located either in the same folder as the PrintShop Mail_Connect_Setup_x86_64.exe or in the
unpacked folder of the installer.exe.
Note
Only the installation can be run silently. Silent Mode does not apply to uninstalling, modifying, or
updating Connect. Any previous version of Connect must be uninstalled before using the Silent
Installer.
The required properties file has the following attributes:
l Comment Lines, starting with # (e.g. # The options to configure an external database)
l Key = Value pairs (e.g. install.product.0 = Connect Designer)
For supported keys, please refer to the next paragraph.
Note
install.properties file notation must follow commons configuration rules. Please refer to
Properties files for more details.
Required and optional properties
Required properties depend on the specified product. Only fields related to that specified
product must be entered. If no product is mentioned, properties must be specified for all valid
Connect products.
Here is an example of an install.properties file.
# Verbose logging
logging.verbose = true
# Product selection
