QUESTION

How do I install DS-5 from the command line on Windows?

ANSWER

Command line installation and uninstallation is possible on Windows by opening a command prompt and running msiexec.exe. msiexec is Microsoft's installer, which you should already have on your computer. You must pass the location of the product, data\DS-5.msi, as an argument to msiexec. A full list of options for using msiexec can be found by running it with the /? option. An example of how to install DS-5 using msiexec is:

msiexec.exe /i data\DS-5.msi EULA=1 /qn /l*v ds5_install.log

where:

• /i: perform installation
• EULA=1: this option is specific to Arm and means that you accept the End User License Agreement (EULA); please read the EULA in the GUI installer before accepting it on the command line
• /qn: quiet mode, no user interaction (command line only)
• /l*v ds5_install.log: log all output from installation into a file named ds5_install.log
