SAFR Desktop Command Line Install Options

Note: These command line install options are only available on Windows.

Command Line Feature Controls

If you launch the Desktop client installer via command line, you can specify which features will be installed. The syntax for the command line options is:

msiexec -i /quiet <installer.msi> ADDLOCAL=Feature1,Feature2

where:

The command line options listed below control which features are turned on in the feature selection tree during installation.

Note: Only one VMS (Milestone, Genetec, GenetecFR, Digifort, or Avigilon) may be selected during installation. If more than one VMS is selected, an error is generated and the installation fails.

The default features are: VIRGO, no VMS, and no Ximea camera extension.

Defaults are cleared when any features are specified on the command line. If you set any features on the command line, then you must set all the features you want. In other words, even though VIRGO is enabled by default, you must still specify VIRGO on the command line if you specify any other features.

Examples:

Action Sample Commands
Milestone VMS integration, VIRGO for Windows, quiet install msiexec -i /quiet SAFRDesktop_win_1_8_442_10_18_19.msi ADDLOCAL=Milestone,VIRGO
VIRGO for Windows without VMS msiexec -i SAFRDesktop_win_1_8_442_10_18_19.msi
