A-2-2 Command line installation of Smart Components Once a Smart Component has been downloaded, it can be installed from the command line. The general command line syntax for single-component installation is: cpXXXXXX.exe [/h[elp]] [/?] [/s[ilent]] [/f[orce]] [/r[eboot]] All arguments and information enclosed in brackets are optional. If no command line arguments are passed on the command line, the installation GUI appears, as shown in Figure A-8. Command line arguments Argument Description /h[elp] Displays command line Help information. /? Is identical to the /help argument. /s[ilent] Specifies whether the GUI appears. Use this argument when scripting the Smart Components to suppress the GUI. If this argument is omitted from the command line, the GUI appears. /f[orce] When used with the /silent command, installs the component in one of the following ways: • If the component is already installed and current, it will be reinstalled, and the installed version number will remain the same. • If a newer version of the component is already installed, the component will install itself and downgrade the originally installed component to the older version number. However, some components do not support downgrading and might require that the current version be uninstalled before installing a previous version. If this argument is omitted from the command line, the installation is not forced. /r[eboot] When used with the /silent command, causes the target system to reboot if the installation requires a reboot to complete the installation. If this argument is omitted from the command line, the server must be rebooted manually for the installation to take effect. The reboot will only take place if no installation errors occur.
