Installing VMware ACE Manager Silently
If you are installing VMware ACE Manager on a number of Windows host computers,
you may want to use the silent installation features of the Microsoft Windows Installer.
Before installing VMware ACE Manager silently, you must ensure that the host
computer has version 2.0 or higher of the MSI runtime engine. This version of the
installer is available in versions of Windows beginning with Windows XP and is
available separately from Microsoft for versions of Windows beginning with Windows
NT 4.0.
The following steps outline the procedures for a silent installation. For additional
details on using the Microsoft Windows Installer, see the Microsoft Web site.
1. Silently extract the administrative installation image from the VMware ACE
Manager installer:
setup.exe /a /s /v"/qn TARGETDIR=<InstallTempPath>"
setup.exe is the name of the installer on the CD distribution. If you are using
a downloaded installer, the filename is similar to VMwareACE-<xxxx>.exe,
where <xxxx> is a series of numbers representing the version and build
numbers.
