Installing the File Tracker software silently

To install the File Tracker software silently, save the FileTracker.exe file locally and run it at the command line using the /s switch. You can include optional command line values when your run the installation program.

To install File Tracker software silently:
  1. Log in to the client machine using an account that has Administrator privileges and sign in to Workplace.
  2. Click Author, and then click General Tools.
  3. Scroll down and click Download File Tracker and click Save. In the Save As dialog box, find a location on your machine in which to download and save the FileTracker.exe file locally, and then click Save .
  4. Open a DOS command window and change the current directory to the one that contains FileTracker.exe.
  5. Type the following at the command line:
    FileTracker.exe /s /v"/qn <additional msi
    arguments included in string> LICENSE_ACCEPTED=true"

    Use the /s switch to launch the execution silently and include the /qn switch in the msi string to make msi run silently. In addition, be aware of spaces specified between switches in the above example. Using the correct spacing ensures a successful silent install.

    Refer to the following optional command line values you can also use. Append the values within the string containing the msi arguments.

    For example:
    FileTracker.exe /s /v"/qn /L*v
    C:\temp\FileTrackerSetup.txt LICENSE_ACCEPTED=true"
    Command Line Values Settings
    /L*v C:\temp\FileTrackerSetup.txt Verbose installation log and specific log location. If you intend to specify a log location, create the directory before running the silent install. If the directory is not created ahead of time, the install will fail.
