SUMMARY
This article discusses Microsoft SoftGrid Client 4.x command-line installation parameters.



MORE INFORMATION
The third-party products that this article discusses are manufactured by companies that are independent of Microsoft. Microsoft makes no warranty, implied or otherwise, about the performance or reliability of these products.

The following SoftGrid command-line parameters are available for the 4.x SoftGrid client (.exe and .msi).

Examples
The following command-line command is an example that uses the .msi file. Be aware that the Windows Installer switch &quot;/q&quot; is used to make this a silent installation and that the &quot;%&quot; characters in &quot;%HomeDrive%&quot; are preceded by the &quot;^&quot; escape character. Otherwise, the Windows command shell will set the value to that of the user who is performing the installation.

msiexec.exe /i &quot;softgrid-ts-setup.msi&quot; SWICACHESIZE=&quot;1024&quot; SWIDCSDISPLAY=&quot;Production Environment&quot; SWIDCSTYPE=&quot;HTTP /secure&quot; SWIDCSHOST=&quot;OSFSGS&quot; SWIDCSPORT=&quot;443&quot; SWIDCSPATH=&quot;/SoftGrid/appsntype.xml&quot; SWIDCSREFRESH=&quot;on&quot; SWISKIPDATASETTINGS=&quot;false&quot; SWIGLOBALDATA=&quot;D:\SoftGrid\Global&quot; SWIUSERDATA=&quot;%HomeDrive%\Windows\SoftGrid Client&quot; SWISOFTGRIDDRIVE=&quot;S&quot; /q

The following command-line command is an example that uses the .exe file. Be aware that the InstallShield switch /s is used to make this a silent install. Also be aware that the quotation marks that appear in the &quot;/v&quot; section must be treated as special characters and entered as &quot;\&quot;.

&quot;softgrid-ts-setup.exe&quot; /s /v&quot;SWICACHESIZE=\&quot;1024\&quot; SWIDCSDISPLAY=\&quot;Production Environment\&quot; SWIDCSTYPE=\&quot;HTTP /secure\&quot; SWIDCSHOST=\&quot;OSFSGS\&quot; SWIDCSPORT=\&quot;443\&quot; SWIDCSPATH=\&quot;/SoftGrid/appsntype.xml\&quot; SWIDCSREFRESH=\&quot;on\&quot; SWISKIPDATASETTINGS=\&quot;false\&quot; SWIGLOBALDATA=\&quot;D:\SoftGrid\Global\&quot; SWIUSERDATA=\&quot;^%HomeDrive^%\Windows\SoftGrid Client\&quot; SWISOFTGRIDDRIVE=\&quot;S\&quot;&quot;

There are no SoftGrid command-line switches available for the .msp file. However, you can use the following Windows Installer command-line switches to silently install the .msp file:

msiexec.exe /p &quot;softgrid-xx-HFxxxxxxxxxx.msp&quot; /qn+ REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus

The following command-line command is an example that uses the .msi file to upgrade the SoftGrid Client.

msiexec.exe /i &quot;softgrid-ts-setup.msi&quot; REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=vomus

Note The quotation marks are required only when the value contains a space. For consistency, all the previous examples are shown as having quotation marks.
