Silent Installation

TiCon's silent installation requires no user interaction whatsoever during the installation process.

Please note:

Silent installation requires the existence of administrator privileges.

The silent installation execution is performed from the command line.

Therefore, at least the following parameters must be specified:

*.msi /quiet

In addition, log file generation should be enabled:

*.msi /quiet /log <log path>

Submitting a Configuration File

If a complete TiCon4 configuration file is to be provided during installation, the CONFIG_FILE parameter must be specified.

The specified configuration file is copied to the following directory during installation:

%ProgramData%\MTM\TiCon 4.{XX}\config.xml

This file is then used as the default configuration for TiCon.

Example:

TiCon4Setup.msi /quiet /log Install.txt CONFIG_FILE="c:\Temp\config.xml"

Submitting an SQL connection string

If a Microsoft SQL connection string is to be specified during installation, the CONNECTION_STRING parameter must be provided.

Example:

TiCon4Setup.msi /quiet /log Install.txt CONNECTION_STRING="Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB; Initial Catalog=TiCon410; AttachDbFilename=C:\ProgramData\MTM\TiCon 4.10\db\TiCon4_my_praes.mdf; Integrated Security=True; MultipleActiveResultSets=True; App=TiCon4"

Combination of Configuration File and Connection String

If both the CONFIG_FILE and CONNECTION_STRING parameters are specified, the existing configuration file is first replaced with the specified file. The SQL connection string that was provided is then entered into the configuration.

Example:

TiCon4Setup.msi /quiet /log Install.txt CONFIG_FILE="c:\Temp\config.xml" CONNECTION_STRING="Data Source=(LocalDB)\MSSQLLocalDB; Initial Catalog=TiCon410; AttachDbFilename=C:\ProgramData\MTM\TiCon 4.10\db\TiCon4_my_praes.mdf; Integrated Security=True; MultipleActiveResultSets=True; App=TiCon4"
