Install Using the Child Installers
- To install or upgrade each client individually, the child executable files must first be extracted from the master installer, as shown in Extract the Child Installers from the Master Installer.
- Command examples included in this section assume the commands are run from C:\extracted.
- Command line switches and parameters are case-sensitive.
- Be sure to enclose a value that contains one or more special characters, such as a blank space in the command line, in escaped quotation marks.
- Use these installers to install the clients using a scripted installation, batch files, or any other push technology available to your organization.
-
The reboot has been suppressed in the command line examples. However, an eventual reboot is required.
Note: Policy-Based Encryption cannot begin until the computer has rebooted.
-
Log files - Windows creates unique child installer installation log files for the logged in user at %temp%, located at C:\Users\<UserName>\AppData\Local\Temp.
If you decide to add separate a log file when you run the installer, ensure that the log file has a unique name, as child installer log files do not append. The standard .msi command can be used be create a log file by using /l*v C:\<any directory>\<any log file name>.log.
-
All child installers use the same basic .msi switches and display options, except where noted, for command line installations. The switches must be specified first. The /v switch is required and takes an argument. Other parameters go inside an argument that is passed to the /v switch.
Display options can be specified at the end of the argument passed to the /v switch to achieve the expected behavior. Do not use both /q and /qn in the same command line. Only use ! and - after /qb.
