78 Remote Installation<br />
Administrative installation—The /a switch causes Setup.exe to perform an administrative installation. An<br />
administrative installation copies (and uncompresses) all the <strong>Diskeeper</strong> files to a directory specified by you, but<br />
it does not create shortcuts or fully register <strong>Diskeeper</strong> for use. This “exposes” the .msi file and is useful when<br />
applying a transform to modify a base MSI package. (See the Microsoft Windows Installer documentation for<br />
more information about applying a transform.)<br />
/s<br />
Silent installation—The /s switch causes Setup.exe to install <strong>Diskeeper</strong> without displaying any information on<br />
the target machine. Note that the /s switch must be used together with the /qn switch described in the MSIEXE<br />
Arguments section below.<br />
/x<br />
Uninstall mode—The /x switch causes Setup.exe to uninstall a previously installed version of <strong>Diskeeper</strong>.<br />
Command Line Installation Arguments<br />
You can pass arguments (or switches) via command line or batch procedure to the various components that<br />
perform the <strong>Diskeeper</strong> installation.<br />
The Microsoft Windows Installer executable, MSIEXEC.exe, accepts qualifiers from the command line. Also,<br />
there are <strong>Diskeeper</strong>-specific arguments that can be passed to MSIEXEC as well.<br />
MSIEXEC Arguments<br />
The MSIEXEC Windows Installer executable accepts a number of arguments in the command line. Here are<br />
two that are useful with <strong>Diskeeper</strong>. Refer to the Microsoft Windows Installer documentation on the Microsoft<br />
website for more information about Windows Installer arguments.<br />
/v<br />
The /v switch passes arguments to the MSIEXEC installation executable. The /v argument is used to pass<br />
Windows Installer command line switches and values of public properties through to MSIEXEC.exe.<br />
/qn<br />
The /qn switch causes MSIEXEC to run silently, with no information displayed on the target computer.<br />
<strong>Diskeeper</strong>-Specific MSIEXEC Arguments<br />
The following MSIEXEC arguments apply only to <strong>Diskeeper</strong> installations.<br />
SMART=”YES”<br />
This argument causes <strong>Diskeeper</strong> Smart Scheduling to be set up for every disk volume on the target computer.<br />
CREATEDESKTOPSHORTCUT=1<br />
This argument causes a desktop shortcut for running <strong>Diskeeper</strong> to be created on the target computer.<br />
Passing Information to the Installation<br />
Here is an example of an installation command line, using several Windows Installer arguments. This command<br />
line will install <strong>Diskeeper</strong> with Smart Scheduling set for all drives, all day everyday:<br />
Setup.exe /v"SMART=\"YES\" "<br />
For a more complex example, to perform a silent install while setting Smart Scheduling all day, use this<br />
command line:
