## Command Line Installation

You can install PC-DMIS from the command line rather than simply double-clicking on the Setup.exe icon. The command line approach can speed up the install process by allowing you to turn different options on and off.

Command line Install Switches

/InstallDir:"<DRIVE>:\PATH\" - specify the target installation drive and path

/NoBackup - do not make a backup copy, just install over the top

/ProgramGroup:"Program Group Name" - specify the program group name where the icons for PC-DMIS will be created

/Language:<n> - specify the language to install. Currently the numbers are:

0 - English

1 - Italian

2 - French

3 - German

4 - Spanish

5 - Portuguese

6 - Japanese

7 - Chinese

/NoStartup - Do not automatically run startup.exe. If this is enabled then the "Launch PC-DMIS after the install exists" checkbox will be disabled, since it needs to run after startup.exe is executed.

/NoPCDMIS - Do not check the "Launch PC-DMIS after the install exits" checkbox. This is ignored if /B is specified.

/B Run in batch mode. Use this with the other options above and you can have a completely unattended install, suitable for running via a batch file or other script. PC-DMIS is not automatically launched if /B is specified.

These options are all case-sensitive.

Unattended Installation Example

So, to do to a fully unattended install in English, for example, you would use something like this in your command line:

setup.exe /B /Language:0 /InstallDir:"C:\PCDMISW" /ProgramGroup:"PC-DMIS for Windows"

You could also easily add the /NoBackup or /NoPCDMIS options to this to speed up the options.
