Silently Install VRS Client
Issue
How to silently install Kofax VRS 5.x as a Client Installation
Cause
Kofax VRS 5.x can be silently installed as long as the default scan source is defined in the installation string. To ensure that the scan source is recognized as a certified scan source, the SCANNERNAME value must match the name of a certified scanner model.
Solution
To ensure that the SCANNERNAME matches the certified scanner model listing:
- Open the VRS Administration Console on an existing installation of Kofax VRS
- Navigate to the Scanner Configuration screen
- Note exactly how the scanner model is listed
To silently install Kofax VRS 5.x as a Client installation to its default location:
1. Open an elevated Command Prompt "as administrator"
2. Use the following command to silently install Kofax VRS 5.x (where InstallationMediaPath is the UNC path to the Kofax VRS.msi file on the VRS server, and ScannerModel is the name of the scanner model as it is listed in the VRS Administration Console Scanner Configuration screen):
msiexec.exe /i "InstallationMediaPath\Kofax VRS.msi" SCANNERNAME="ScannerModel" /qn
Examples:
msiexec.exe /i "\\myvrsserver\Deployment\Kofax VRS.msi" SCANNERNAME="Fujitsu fi-5950 (ISIS)" /qn
msiexec.exe /i "\\myvrsserver\Deployment\Kofax VRS.msi" SCANNERNAME="Kodak i5250" /qn
To silently install Kofax VRS 5.x as a Client installation to a custom location:
1. Open an elevated Command Prompt "as administrator"
2. Use the following command to silently install Kofax VRS 5.x (where InstallationMediaPath is the UNC path to the Kofax VRS.msi file on the VRS server, PATH is the path to the custom target location, and ScannerModel is the name of the scanner model as it is listed in the VRS Administration Console Scanner Configuration screen):
msiexec.exe /i "InstallationMediaPath\Kofax VRS.msi" INSTALLDIR="PATH\ImgCtls\" SCANNERNAME="ScannerModel" /qn
Examples:
msiexec.exe /i "\\myvrsserver\Deployment\Kofax VRS.msi" INSTALLDIR="E:\Program Files (x86)\Kofax\ImgCtls\" SCANNERNAME="Fujitsu fi-5950 (ISIS)" /qn
msiexec.exe /i "\\myvrsserver\Deployment\Kofax VRS.msi" INSTALLDIR="J:\Kofax\ImgCtls\" SCANNERNAME="Kodak i5250" /qn
