General information
PrintShop Mail Connect can be installed from the command line in "silent mode" to allow for
scenarios such automated installations during company wide roll-outs, or to allow for
unattended out-of-hours updates. The trigger for the Connect Installer to run in silent mode is a
text file with the fixed name installProperties.ini located in the same folder as the PrintShop
Mail Connect installation executable file.
How to prepare the installProperties.ini file is detailed in the following sections.
Installation Properties file
The basic rules for the installProperties.ini file are:
l Comment Lines start with the semi-colon character ';'
Example: ; The options to configure an external database
l The properties are listed in Key = Value pair format.
Example: product.ServerExtension = false
l Quotes are used for path strings, but not for other string types
Example: path = "c:\Program Files\Objectif Lune\OL Connect"
l Property values are case insensitive
The installation settings fall into three distinct categories:
l "[Logging]" below for setting the installation logging options
l "[Installation]" on the next page for selecting what gets installed
l "[Uninstall]" on page42 handles properties related to product Uninstallation. These also
impact Maintenance mode.
[Logging]
This section handles Silent Installer logging options.
