package on the local system. With the /b option, one can
specify the directory in which to cache the installation
files, as in /b"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vodafone". A local
cache of the installation files is necessary when installing
VMB, the recommended local folder would be
%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vodafone, but can be changed if
required. The environment variable %LOCALAPPDATA%
is defined in Windows Vista and in Windows 7, for
Windows XP the environment variable %APPDATA% can
be used as well. The cache location is important for
installing missing features during run time. In that case
the installer needs access to the msi database of
Vodafone Mobile Broadband. Please use always the sub-
folder name “Vodafone” for the cache location.
/v
The /v option is used to pass command line options and
values of public installation properties through to
Microsoft’s installation process msiexec.exe. The
recommended command line options are option /qb,
which displays a basic UI, i.e. progress bar dialog during
the installation process and option /norestart, which
forces the installer never restarts the computer after the
installation.
Not installing feature SMS or feature Optimiser
The features SMS or ByteMobile can be excluded from the installation by using the installer
property REMOVE. The feature being removed must be listed in the Feature table of the msi
database. The value of this property is list of features delimited by commas. Installer property
ADDLOCAL is a list of features that are delimited by commas, and are to be installed locally.
Command Line Example:
setup_vmb.exe /s /b"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vodafone" /v"ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=SMS /qb
/norestart"
setup_vmb.exe /s /b"%LOCALAPPDATA%\Vodafone" /v"ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=ByteMobile
/qb /norestart"
or
msiexec.exe /I “Vodafone Mobile Broadband.msi TRANSFORMS=2057.mst ADDLOCAL=ALL
REMOVE=SMS /qb /norestart
msiexec.exe /I “Vodafone Mobile Broadband.msi TRANSFORMS=2057.mst ADDLOCAL=ALL
REMOVE=ByteMobile /qb /norestart
