Command Line Parameters

Installing FBackup with command line parameters

FBackup can be installed with various command line parameters that are useful when an unattended installation is needed.

Syntax

msiexec /i  fbSetup.msi [switches]

Switches can be any combination of the following parameters:

/QUIET - Instructs Setup to be quiet. When a setup is quiet, there is no user interaction and the installation progress window is not displayed. However the error messages during installation are displayed.

/PASSIVE - Instructs Setup to be quiet. When Setup is quiet, the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. Everything else is normal so for example error messages during installation are displayed. If a restart is necessary and the /NORESTART command isn't used (see below) and Setup is quiet, it will display a "Reboot now?" message box.

/q[n|b|r|f] - Sets user interface level

n - No user interface

b - Basic user interface

r - Reduced user interface

f - Full user interface (default)

/NORESTART - Do not restart after the installation is complete

APPDIR="installation path" - Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Location wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.

Bellow is a list of tasks that should be initially selected or deselected. To select a task, mark it as "TRUE". To deselect a task, use "". Only the specified tasks (and their children) will be selected; the rest will be used as default.

CREATE_DESKTOP_ICON="TRUE"|"" - Choose if a desktop icon will be created or not.
