This topic contains information relating to installing or uninstalling CM4D without the installer user interface via command line, referred to as a 'silent' or 'quiet' installation. This installation option is compatible with CM4D v24 and up.

Some recommendations:

Installation Commands

Option Description Command
Disable Reboot Prevents the automatic reboot that is triggered when the installation is finished. A manual system reboot is highly recommended.

/norestart

Logging Generates an installation log file.
Relative Path The log file is created wherever the installer is located.

/L*V "example.log"

Absolute Path The log file is created in the location specified by the path.

/L*V "C:\installs\example.log"

Service User Set the type and credentials of the user that will be configured to run the CM4D Services, such as Scheduler or Results.
Local System Installs the CM4D services with the default 'Local System' user. This is equivalent to the 'Quick Install' method during manual installation.

If the user does not exist at the time the silent installation is executed, the services will not install correctly.
