Installer Program Options

Overview

This page provides information on how to silently install Enscape. A silent installation allows you to complete Enscape installation without user input during the process using a predefined set of options.

In order for a System Administrator to install Enscape on multiple machines, a config.xml file containing all settings must be first prepared, that will later be used when deploying Enscape on users’ machines. To learn more about deploying your license to multiple machines, go to this page.

To set up a silent installation and generate a config.xml file, follow the instructions below.

Run the installation file with the following arguments:

Enscape-4.1.0.exe -gui=0

Follow the instructions of the installation and set-up the installation the way you want to have it on all machines. This will create a file named config.xml in the folder of the installation executable file. Save this config.xml file as you will need it to install Enscape on other machines.

To install Enscape on users’ machines, run the installation file from an Administrator command prompt with the following arguments:

Enscape-4.1.0.exe -gui=0 -configFile="config.xml" -quiet=1

The -quiet=1 argument will cause the installer to read the variable values from the config.xml file and do the installation without user input. If you do not specify the -quiet=1 option, the installer will ask for a confirmation of each variable before proceeding.

Silently uninstall Enscape

To silently uninstall Enscape 4.0 and higher, run the installation file from an Administrator command prompt with the following arguments:

Enscape-4.0.0.exe -gui=0 -auto -uninstallApp="Enscape" -uninstall="C:\Program Files\Enscape\uninstall\install.log"

The path to install.log may vary depending on the location where Enscape was installed. Change “Enscape-4.0.0.exe” to the version you want to uninstall.

To silently uninstall Enscape 3.5 and lower, use the msiexec command from an Administrator command prompt with the following arguments:

start /w msiexec.exe /x "C:\Enscape-3.5.6+204048.msi" /quiet /L* "C:\Enscape_uninstall.log"

Change the path and name for the *.msi and *.log according to your installed version and needs.

Configuration File

The config.xml file holds configuration information about the settings of the installation. Below is an example of such a config file:
