SUMMARY
This article describes the command-line installation parameters for SoftGrid Client 3.x.



MORE INFORMATION
The following SoftGrid command-line parameters are available for the .exe and .msi SoftGrid Client installer files.

The following table describes frequently used MSI parameters.

The .msi file
The following example uses the .msi file. Notice that the Windows Installer /q switch is used to make this a silent installation.

Additionally, notice that the percent (%) characters in &quot;%HomeDrive%&quot; are preceded by the caret (^) character. If the percent characters were not preceded by the caret character, the Windows command shell would set the value between the percent characters to the value 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;

Important Line breaks were added to this example for legibility. If you use this command, make sure that you enter the text as one long string, as follows:

Msiexec.exe /i &quot;softgrid-ts-setup.msi&quot; SWICACHESIZE=&quot;1024&quot; SWIDCSDISPLAY=&quot;Production Environment&quot; SWIDCSTYPE=&quot;HTTP&quot; SWIDCSHOST=&quot;OSFSGS&quot; SWIDCSPORT=&quot;80&quot; SWIDCSPATH=&quot;/SoftGrid/appsntype.xml&quot; SWIDCSREFRESH=&quot;on&quot; SWIPUBLISHDESKTOP=&quot;true&quot; SWIPUBLISHSTART=&quot;true&quot; SWISKIPDATASETTINGS=&quot;false&quot; SWIGLOBALDATA=&quot;D:\SoftGrid\Global&quot; SWIUSERDATA=&quot;%HomeDrive%\Windows\SoftGrid Client&quot; /q

The .exe file
The following example uses the .exe file. Notice that the InstallShield /s switch is used to make this a silent installation.

Additionally, notice that the quotation marks that are contained in the /v&quot;&quot; section must be treated as special characters and must be entered as \&quot;.

&quot;Softgrid-ts-setup.exe&quot; /s /v&quot;SWICACHESIZE=\&quot;1024\&quot;

SWIDCSDISPLAY=\&quot;Production Environment\&quot;

SWIDCSTYPE=\&quot;HTTP\&quot;

SWIDCSHOST=\&quot;OSFSGS\&quot;

SWIDCSPORT=\&quot;80\&quot;

SWIDCSPATH=\&quot;/SoftGrid/appsntype.xml\&quot;

SWIDCSREFRESH=\&quot;on\&quot;

SWIPUBLISHDESKTOP=\&quot;true\&quot;

SWIPUBLISHSTART=\&quot;true\&quot;

SWISKIPDATASETTINGS=\&quot;false\&quot;

SWIGLOBALDATA=\&quot;D:\SoftGrid\Global\&quot;

SWIUSERDATA=\&quot;^%HomeDrive^%\Windows\SoftGrid Client\&quot;&quot;

Important Line breaks were added to this example for legibility. If you use this command, make sure that you enter the text as one long string, as follows:

&quot;Softgrid-ts-setup.exe&quot; /s /v&quot;SWICACHESIZE=\&quot;1024\&quot; SWIDCSDISPLAY=\&quot;Production Environment\&quot; SWIDCSTYPE=\&quot;HTTP\&quot; SWIDCSHOST=\&quot;OSFSGS\&quot; SWIDCSPORT=\&quot;80\&quot; SWIDCSPATH=\&quot;/SoftGrid/appsntype.xml\&quot; SWIDCSREFRESH=\&quot;on\&quot; SWIPUBLISHDESKTOP=\&quot;true\&quot; SWIPUBLISHSTART=\&quot;true\&quot; SWISKIPDATASETTINGS=\&quot;false\&quot; SWIGLOBALDATA=\&quot;D:\SoftGrid\Global\&quot; SWIUSERDATA=\&quot;^%HomeDrive^%\Windows\SoftGrid Client\&quot;&quot;

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

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

The following example 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 use quotation marks.
