Unattended install

Unattended installation is useful for installing Host Integration Server 2004 on a large number of computers to ensure that they are all configured in exactly the same way. It is also useful if you need to change or update the existing configuration of a large number of computers.

You perform an unattended installation by creating a “model” installation on one computer, which you then apply to the other computers.

To perform unattended installations

  1. Using the standard, Windows-based installation program, perform a full installation on a single computer. Since the installation parameters you choose will be saved as a model, make the selections you want to use on the other installations.
  2. When setup is complete, run the Configuration Wizard on the same computer. As in Step 1, make the selections you want to use on the other installations. Stop when you reach the Summary Page.
  3. At the Configuration Wizard Summary Page, click Save. The wizard will create a configuration file called HISServerConfig.xml.
  4. Finish and close the Configuration Wizard.
  5. If you need to, open HISServerConfig.xml in a browser and make any necessary changes.
  6. On the appropriate server computer, open a command prompt and run the Unattended Installation command (see below). Where the command calls for the configuration file, use the name and location of the HISServerConfig.xml file created in Steps 1-5. You can also use the options listed below.

Commands

Use the following commands and options for unattended install.

Setup.exe /Product HIS /InstallPlatform /L c:\HISInstall.log /S c:\ HISServerConfig.xml /INSTALLDIR C:\HIS

ConfigFramework.exe /L c:\ConfigFramework.Log /F /S c:\HISServerConfig.xml

Options

/InstallPlatform

Using this flag will cause the installation program to install any platform prerequisites.

/Product [HIS | HISC]

Using this flag will install either Host Integration Server 2004 (HIS), or Host Integration Server 2004 Client (HISC).

/L c:\HISInstall.log

Using this flag will determine the log file location that is created during setup.

/S C:\HISServerConfig.xml

Using this flag will specify the configuration file (list of features) that is used on installation. The file "HISServerConfig.xml" contains information about which features to install and how they should be configured. Sample copies of these files are located in the Support\Unattended_Installs directory of the install folder. This file can also be created during setup by selecting the Save button in the summary panel of the Configuration Wizard.

/INSTALLDIR C:\HIS

This option tells setup where to install the product (for example C:\HIS or "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Host Integration Server\")

Unattended uninstall

Use following command for unattended uninstall:

Setup.exe /l C:\UninstallLog.txt /REMOVE ALL /Product HIS
