You can install the Windows client software from the command line instead of using the Setup program through Windows. At the command line, enter the setup command with one or more options. You can enter these options in uppercase or lowercase, and can precede them with a / (slash) or - (hyphen). If a parameter, such as folder, is a string that contains a space, you must enclose the string inside double quotes.
After you enter the setup command, the Setup program prompts you for any information you have not included on the command line, and displays confirmation messages at various stages of the setup. If you do not want the Setup program to prompt you, use the option to run the program in silent mode.
Following are the setup command options:
Display a list of the command line options. This is the same as the option.
Display a list of the command line options. This is the same as the option.
Run the installation in silent mode. The option must be the last one in the command line, and you must be sure you have specified the domain name (using the option) and any other parameters that you want to specify. When the installation runs in silent mode, it does not prompt you for any parameters or display confirmation messages. Any command-line arguments after are ignored.
Specify the full pathname of the installation log file that is created during silent mode installation (using the option).
If you do not specify this option, the file is created as setup.log in the directory from which you run the installation program. If you are installing in silent mode from the CD drive, you must specify this option to ensure that the file is created on your computer (because it cannot be created on the CD drive).
Specify the Program folder.
Specify the install directory.
Specify a group name for this client. Choose a group name that has already been added to the configuration file. For more information, see the SNAP-IX Administration Guide.
Specify a domain name for this client. This parameter is required; there is no default.
Specify a server to be included in the list of servers this client can access.
Overwrite existing .DLL files. If the SNAP-IX .DLL files are already present, the Setup program overwrites these files even if they have a higher version number than the Setup program .DLL files.
Save existing .DLL files. If the SNAP-IX .DLL files already exist in the required directories, the Setup program copies the existing .DLL files to a subdirectory of the install directory, and then installs the SNAP-IX .DLL files. The copies in the subdirectory ensure that if you uninstall the SNAP-IX client software, the uninstall process will be complete.
Cancel the installation if existing SNAP-IX .DLL files are found.
Specify the LAN access time-out in seconds. This is the length of time a socket can remain idle before being closed. The value 0 indicates no time-out.
Specify the maximum number of UDP broadcast attempts. A UDP broadcast is a client's attempt to connect to any server in the domain rather than to a specific server. The value 0 indicates no broadcast attempts are made.
Specify the time in seconds that the client waits before attempting to reconnect to a server after the server has gone down.
After you have installed the Windows Client software, follow the instructions in Installing Windows Client Software Using the Setup Program if you also want to install the Windows Client SDK software. (You cannot install the Windows Client SDK software from the command line; you must use the Setup program to do this.)
