Silent Installation Settings for Uptivity Client Applications

You can install Uptivity client applications silently by running the "msiexec.exe" application and using standard Windows Installer options. For more information about silent installation, review documentation available from Microsoft or contact Uptivity Support.

Silent Installation Command Structure

Perform silent installations from the admin command prompt using the parameters and options as needed. The structure of a silent installation command is: 

For example, the following command would install the screen capture client automatically and force the workstation to restart afterward:

Msiexec.exe /i "C:\CallCopy ScreenCap Client Installer.msi" /passive /forcerestart

If you run the silent installation with default settings, the client will not be set to connect to any server. You need to either modify the configuration files after installation or extract the MSI package and replace the configuration file before installation.
