Installing Notebook Gallery Content
Examples of Msiexec Command Lines
Silently Installing from the SMART Website
You can use the following command line to install the Gallery Setup.exe and supporting files from
the path to the default destination of C:\Program Files\Common Files\SMART Technologies
Inc\Gallery:
msiexec /i
"Path to .msi\SMART Essentials for Educators.msi"
FULLCONTENT=1 /qn
Once the installation program has copied the files, the command line silently runs the Gallery
Setup.exe program, installing all Gallery content from the SMART website to the default
destination of C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\SMART Technologies
Inc\Essentials for Educators.
Silently Installing from the CD (or Image)
The following command line installs the Gallery Setup.exe program, supporting files and all
content from the CD or an image of the CD on a network server:
msiexec /i
"Path to .msi\SMART Essentials for Educators.msi"
FULLCONTENT=1 CDLAUNCH=1 CDPATH=
"Path to gallery data files" /qn
NOTES
•
If you omit the /qn option, the Windows Installer runs in Interactive mode and ignores the
FULLCONTENT property. You must then select the content you want to install.
•
If you omit the CDPATH= option, this command line only works if you copy the entire SMART
Essentials for Educators CD's contents to the root of the network drive, ensuring that all files
are available, and that the folder structure remains intact. If you then use the command, the
installer finds the GalleryCD.dat file and installs the Gallery content files from the server. If
you don’t copy the CD contents to the root folder, or if you modify the path structure of the CD
image, the installer won’t find the GalleryCD.dat file, and then attempts to download all the
Gallery content from the SMART website.
•
If SMART Essentials for Educators is already installed on the target computer, the silent
installation commands above will not work.
Silently Removing SMART Essentials for Educators
To remove SMART Essentials for Educators and the common Gallery content in Silent mode, use
the uninstall option (/x) together with the quiet optional parameter (/qn). For example:
msiexec /x
"Path to .msi\SMART Essentials for Educators.msi" /qn
NOTES:
•
You must use the SMART Essentials for Educators.msi to install the software before you can
use this command to silently remove SMART Essentials for Educators.
•
You must use the same .msi file to remove the software that you used to install the software.
