Dell Trusted Device Installation and Administrator Guide v5.5

PDF

Command line installation

  • Be sure to enclose a value that contains one or more special characters, such as a blank space in the command line, in escaped quotation marks.
  • Use these commands to install Trusted Device Agent using a scripted installation, batch files, or any other push technology available to your organization.
  • Log files: Windows creates installation log files for the logged in user at %temp%, at C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Temp. If you decide to add a separate log file when you run the installer, ensure that the log file has a unique name. Use the standard .msi command to create a log file. For example: /l*v C:\<any directory>\<any log file name>.log. See the example listed below.
    NOTE: If you add a separate log file when you run the installer, any existing file with the same name is overwritten.
  • Specify display options at the end of the argument that is passed to the /v switch to achieve the expected behavior. Do not use both /q and /qn in the same command line. Only use ! and - after /qb.
    Table 1. MSI switches
    Switch Meaning
    /s Silent mode
    /l Writes logging information into a logfile at the specified or existing path
    Table 2. MSI parameters
    Parameter Meaning
    /norestart Never restart option - the computer does not restart after installation is complete.
    NOTE: Using the /norestart option prevents the required reboot for Trusted Device upgrades. Until the computer is restart, Trusted Device may not function as expected.
    /q No Progress dialog - restarts itself after process completion
    /qb Progress dialog with Cancel button, prompts for restart.
    /qb- Progress dialog with Cancel button - restarts itself after process completion
    /qb! Progress dialog without Cancel button - prompts for restart
    /qb!- Progress dialog without Cancel button - restarts itself after process completion
    /qn No user interface
  • The following table details the variables available for the installation.
