Technical notes for unattended install/silent install/quiet install.
The following commands can be used to perform a silent install of FoodWorks for all users on a computer running Windows 7, 8 or 10.
These commands must be run by a user with administrative permissions.
For x32 Windows:
msiexec /i <path>\foodworks<version>setup.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn “C:\Program Files\Xyris Software\FoodWorks <version>\UpdateLicense” -install <productkey>
For x64 Windows:
msiexec /i <path>\foodworks<version>setup.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn “C:\Program Files (x86)\Xyris Software\FoodWorks <version>\UpdateLicense” -install <productkey>
Where:
- <path> is the full pathname for the FoodWorks setup .msi file
- <version> is the FoodWorks version
- <productkey> is the FoodWorks Product Key
Example
msiexec /i x:\setups\foodworks10setup.msi ALLUSERS=1 /qn “C:\Program Files\Xyris Software\FoodWorks 10\UpdateLicense” -install XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX
Notes
- The parameter ‘ALLUSERS=1’ is required to ensure FoodWorks is installed for all users. If this parameter is omitted then FoodWorks will only be installed for the current user.
- /qn is the msiexec parameter for a silent install. For other command line options for msiexec see here.
