Installing UNICOM Intelligence Data Entry from the command line
You can install UNICOM Intelligence Data Entry from the command line. This is useful for system administrators who want to set up a “silent install” process that does not require the user to enter information in the install screens.
Installing from the command line
1 The Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Packages are automatically installed when you perform a normal UNICOM Intelligence Desktop installation. If the Redistributable Packages are not already installed on your computer, you must install them before installing UNICOM Intelligence Desktop from the command line. If you do not install the Redistributable Packages, the UNICOM Intelligence Desktop applications will not work.
Download the latest Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package from:
▪For UNICOM Intelligence 7.5.1 and later, install the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015, 2017 and 2019.
Use the appropriate Vcredist command (Vcredist_x64.exe or Vcredist_x86.exe) to push the Microsoft Visual C++ Redistributable Package installation, for example:
Vcredist_x64.exe /q:a /c:"VCREDI~3.EXE /q:a /c:""msiexec /i vcredist.msi /qn"" "
2 At a command prompt, change to the folder that the setup.exe file is in.
3 Enter a command in this format:
[start /WAIT] setup.exe /s /v" /qn [/l*v \"<mylogfile>\"] [INSTALLDIR=\"<my_path\>"] LICENSECODE=\"<my_license_code>\" "
Options
[start /WAIT]
(Optional.) Waits until the command is finished before returning to the command prompt. This feature is useful in a silent installation, as otherwise the log needs to be examined to find out when it has completed.
/s
(Required.) Runs the installation in silent mode.
/v
(Required.) Passes the parameters that follow (that is, everything between the following quotation mark and the final quotation mark at the end of the command) to the installation program.
/qn
(Required.) Runs the installer in “quiet mode”, that is, without any user interface.
/l*v \"<mylogfile>\"
(Optional.) Logs in “verbose mode” to the file mylogfile.
INSTALLDIR=\"<my_path\>"
(Optional.) The folder where you want to install UNICOM Intelligence Data Entry. The default folder is:
[INSTALL_FOLDER]\IBM\SPSS\DataCollection\7\
LICENSECODE=\"<my_license_code>\"
(Required.) The license code for UNICOM Intelligence Data Entry.
Examples
The following example installs UNICOM Intelligence Data Entry into the default folder without recording the installation messages:
setup.exe /s /v" /qn LICENSECODE=\"12345 67890 12345 67890 12345 67890 12345 67890\" "
The following example installs UNICOM Intelligence Data Entry into the default folder, and records the installation messages in a file called C:\log.txt:
setup.exe /s /v" /qn /l*v \"C:\log.txt\" LICENSECODE=\"12345 67890 12345 67890 12345 67890 12345 67890\" "
The following example installs UNICOM Intelligence Data Entry into the specified folder, and records the installation messages in a file called C:\log.txt:
setup.exe /s /v" /qn /l*v \"C:\log.txt\" INSTALLDIR=\"C:\MyInstallFolder\" LICENSECODE=\"12345 67890 12345 67890 12345 67890 12345 67890\" "
The following example does the same as the previous example, but waits for the installation to complete before returning to the command prompt:
start /WAIT setup.exe /s /v" /qn /l*v \"C:\log.txt\" INSTALLDIR=\"C:\MyInstallFolder\" LICENSECODE=\"12345 67890 12345 67890 12345 67890 12345 67890\" "
