Silent Installation and Deployment

This option, intended especially for network administrators, makes it possible (and easy) to install CryptoDisk on an arbitrary number of computers, without any interference from the users. The installation may contain predefined settings of the program and tasks.

Predefined installation settings

CryptoDisk installer lets network administrators saves the installation settings in an inf file and reuse them later for unattended installation. Use /SAVEINF="filename" and install CryptoDisk normally.

You can now use the /LOADINF="filename" switch to load installation settings. When /LOADINF is used, CryptoDisk installer will check the whole command line too.

Setup Command Line Parameters

The Setup program accepts optional command line parameters. These can be useful to system administrators, and to other programs calling the Setup program.

Syntax

CryptoDisk-Setup.exe [switches]

/LOADINF="filename"

Instructs Setup to load the settings from the specified file after having checked the command line. This file can be prepared using the '/SAVEINF=' command as explained below.

Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces.

/SAVEINF="filename"

Instructs Setup to save installation settings to the specified file.

Don't forget to use quotes if the filename contains spaces.

/DIR="x:\dirname"

Overrides the default directory name displayed on the Select Destination Location wizard page. A fully qualified pathname must be specified.

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard is not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed. 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 silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it's very silent it will reboot without asking.

/NORESTART

Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary.

/LICENSEDTO="licensed to"

The name the license key was issued to.

/LICENSEKEY="license key"

CryptoDisk license key.

Uninstaller Command Line Parameters

The uninstaller program (unins???.exe) accepts optional command line parameters. These can be useful to system administrators, and to other programs calling the uninstaller program.

/SILENT, /VERYSILENT

When specified, the uninstaller will not ask the user for startup confirmation or display a message stating that uninstall is complete. Shared files that are no longer in use are deleted automatically without prompting. Any critical error messages will still be shown on the screen. When '/VERYSILENT' is specified, the uninstallation progress window is not displayed.

If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and '/VERYSILENT' is specified, the uninstaller will reboot without asking.

/NORESTART

Instructs the uninstaller not to reboot even if it's necessary.
