The command line method provides a way to silently install
the Content Engine client files.
You can use the values in your installation worksheet to edit the
silent input text file before you run the installation.
Be sure that you have available
the Installation and Upgrade Worksheet that was completed during your
planning activities.
Important: Be sure
that Content Engine is running
before you start installing Content Engine Client

cluster server environment, you must upgrade the
Content Engine client files on the
Process Engine servers for every node

Tip: In the worksheet file, verify that
the command is enabled.
To view only Content Engine values,
filter by CE Client Installer in the Installation
or Configuration Program column.

- Copy the Content Engine Client
install software from the Content Engine installation
software to the temporary directory, and unzip the software package.
The version of the installation software must match the version of Content Engine.
