Silent Installation / Uninstallation and Customisation        
 		Previous Topic  Next Topic 


You can install/uninstall FireDaemon Pro EXE or MSI silently via the command line. To install FireDaemon Pro silently:


firedaemon-pro.exe /s

firedaemon-pro.msi /s


To uninstall FireDaemon Pro silently (note this will not uninstall any FireDaemon Pro services):


firedaemon-pro.exe /s MODIFY=FALSE REMOVE=TRUE UNINSTALL=YES

firedaemon-pro.msi /s MODIFY=FALSE REMOVE=TRUE UNINSTALL=YES


You can log the FireDaemon Pro installation as follows:


firedaemon-pro.exe /l=<logfile.log>

firedaemon-pro.msi /l=<logfile.log>


Replace <logfile.log> with a fully pathed filename (eg. C:\Temp\FDInst.log).


You can explicitly use msiexec (Windows Installer) to install/uninstall the MSI silently as follows:


msiexec /quiet /package firedaemon-pro.msi

msiexec /quiet /uninstall firedaemon-pro.msi


For more information on msiexec, at a command prompt type:


msiexec /?


Lastly, you can supply additional command line options to customise how FireDaemon Pro is installed on your system. These directives are supplied to the installer in the form of VARIABLE=VALUE. If spaces are required in the VALUE then the VALUE must be quoted. VARIABLE and VALUE must be in upper case.
