Question / Problem:
Is it possible to silently upgrade a Kofax Capture Workstation using a MSI file with no user interface or pop-up windows, and also create an installation log file?
Answer / Solution:
Yes. This can be accomplished by using the following command (see the comments for the explanation of the MSI options used):
msiexec.exe /i " \Capture.msi" /qn INSTALL_TYPE="Workstation" SERVERDIR="\\
<Kofax_Server>\CaptureSV" UPGRADE="1" /Lcaemoi+! "<LogFile_PathFileName>"
Comments:
/i
The installation option of the product; in our case,Capture.msi
./qn
The Display option of q for quiet and n for no User Interface (UI) / no pop-up windows./Lcaemoi+!
L
is for log file,c
is for initial UI parameters,a
for startup actions,e
for all error messages.m
is for out of memory or fatal exit information,o
for out of disk space message,i
for status messages,+
to append to existing file, and!
to flush each line to the log.
