24
Completing a Silent Windows Installation (Advanced)
A
silent
installation
uses command line parameters to complete an installation without
messages or user interaction.
To complete a silent installation:
1
Insert the Adaptec Storage Manager Installation CD into your CD drive.
2
Open a command prompt window and change to the CD directory.
3
Install Adaptec Storage Manager using this command line string:
setup.exe /s /v" /qn <properties>"
where
<properties>
is one or more of the options listed in the next table. Separate
properties with spaces; separate feature names for the ADDLOCAL property with commas
(see examples on
page 25
).
Note:
Synchronous Installation—To install
Adaptec
Storage Manager so that the setup.exe file
does not close until the installation is complete, add the /w parameter to setup.exe and run
the application with the start /WAIT command as shown in this example:
start /WAIT setup.exe /w /s /v" /qn <OPTIONS>"
You might want to do this for a batch file installation so that the setup will not return until the
installation is finished.
4
After a minute or two, the silent installation should be complete and the Adaptec Storage
Manager icon should be accessible.
