Windows: Installation
Windows Installation
Graphical Installation
- Right click on the Windows Installer and choose "Run as administrator".
- Review and accept the license agreement.
- Select a setup type of either typical or custom.
- Typical will install all program features.
- Custom allows you to choose which programs and features you wish to install.
- Launch the PK Endpoint Agent by double clicking on the PK Endpoint Agent icon from the desktop.
Command Line Installation
You can install the PK Endpoint Agent from the Windows command-line prompt or a batch file. In the command line, you can set values for various properties to customize the installation.
The command line looks like this:
<name of smartcrypt installation file> /S /v"<properties>"
where:
/S is a switch that tells InstallShield® to run silently and not to display various initial screens (that say, for example, Preparing to install )
/v is a switch that must be used to pass any specified Smartcrypt properties to the Windows installer.
<properties> is a list of property settings
You can also optionally pass in a switch to specify either the Basic UI, that displays a dialog containing only a Cancel button to allow canceling of the installation; or No UI, that displays no dialog. Both Basic UI and No UI can run unattended. The default is the full, graphical UI, which is interactive and so cannot run unattended.
Switch | Specifies |
---|---|
/qb | Basic UI |
/qn | No UI |
Any quotes (") in the parameters must be escaped with a backslash (\).
<name of smartcrypt installation file> /S /v/qb
<name of smartcrypt installation file> /S /v"/qb PKPGPASSOC=0"
The properties you can set or change are described below:
