Silently Install VRS Standalone Installation
Issue
How to silently install Kofax VRS 5.x as a Standalone 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 Standalone 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 path to the setup.exe file, and ScannerModel is the name of the scanner model as it is listed in the VRS Administration Console Scanner Configuration screen):
InstallationMediaPath\setup.exe /s /v"/qn SCANNERNAME=\"ScannerModel\""
Examples:
"D:\Media\setup.exe" /s /v"/qn SCANNERNAME=\"Fujitsu fi-5950 (ISIS)\""
"E:\Kofax Capture\Prerequisites\VirtualReScan 5.2\setup.exe" /s /v"/qn SCANNERNAME=\"Kodak i5250\""
"C:\VRS\Media\setup.exe" /s /v"/qn SCANNERNAME=\"Canon DR-M260\""
To silently install Kofax VRS 5.x as a Standalone 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 as a server installation (where InstallationMediaPath is the path to the setup.exe file in the VRS installation media and PATH is the path to the custom target location):
"InstallationMediaPath\setup.exe" /s /v" INSTALLDIR=\"PATH\ImgCtls\" SCANNERNAME=\"ScannerModel\" /qn"
Examples:
"D:\Media\setup.exe" /s /v" INSTALLDIR=\"E:\Program Files (x86)\Kofax\ImgCtls\" /qn SCANNERNAME=\"Fujitsu fi-5950 (ISIS)\""
"E:\Kofax Capture\Prerequisites\VirtualReScan 5.2\setup.exe" /s /v" INSTALLDIR=\"J:\Kofax\ImgCtls\" /qn SCANNERNAME=\"Kodak i5250\""
"C:\temp\VRS\Media\setup.exe" /s /v" INSTALLDIR=\"D:\Kofax\ImgCtls\" /qn SCANNERNAME=\"Canon DR-M260\""
