Repair the Client Components for Backward-Compatible Document
Libraries from the Command Line
Another method of repairing the client components is to use the command line. The
following steps will repair an installation from the command line.
1. Open a command prompt window.
2. Type “path\setup” /f “path\SPSClient.msi", where path is the path to the
Setup.exe and SPSClient.msi files.
Tip Include the switch /f to repair the client components.
For example, to repair the client components, where Setup.exe and SPSClient.msi
are in E:\Client Files, you would type E:\Client Files\setup” /f “E:\Client
Files\SPSClient.msi”.
Note If you have removed one or more of the installation prerequisites,
you cannot repair the client components unless you disable the prerequisite
check. You can disable the prerequisite check by adding DISABLEPRE-
REQ=1 to the command line. To disable the prerequisite check in the preceding
example, you would type E:\Client Files\setup” /f “E:\Client
Files\SPSClient.msi” DISABLEPREREQ=1.
