Maxwell 2.5.1 Silent-Installation

Hi there

I have to deploy Maxwell 2.5.1 to many computers and wanted to find out which is the easiest way to do that.

In the last Version 1.7.1 I had an MSI-File and it was very easy.

Now when I extract the EXE-File (maxwell_2.5.1.0-win32.exe) I find many files, also some MSI's, but dont know what to do.

Is there a silent-install parameter for the exe-file or which msi's do I have to install?

Thanks for an answer

Regards

Hey Walter

you can always use the /S switch.

If you need a tool, here is a good one.
Download PsTools from microsoft http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysi ... 97553.aspx

Run the PsExec.exe from command line like this:

PsExec.exe [\\remote computer IP or Name] cmd.exe /c [\\remote folder where maxwell exist] [silent switch]

Example:
C:\PsTools>PsExec.exe \\192.168.0.5 cmd.exe /c \\192.168.0.2\netsharefolder\maxwell_2.5.1.0-win64.exe /S
Where 192.168.0.5 is the computer you install Maxwell silently and 192.168.0.2 is the computer that shares a folder where Maxwell install file exists over the network.

You need admin right to do this.

Hi there

Thank you very much! It works perfectly!

I tried to use the /? switch for help, but didnt get any information.

What it the uninstall-parameter? I tried /u, doesn't work :(

I'm sorry, if the /S doesn't work, then its probably not included in the uninstaller.

/s = works, silent install

but

/u = doesnt work, should uninstall

its "/S" for both install and uninstall.
But what I've understand the Maxwell uninstaller doesn't work unattended.

You can google "NSIS installer command line"
