xcvault in MSI installation

Post by LaHae »

With MSI deployment (especially for silent installation) we set several installation parameters for features and plug-ins.
What is not installed, however, is xcvault.

If you install the msi without ADDLOCAL Paramters, the license tool is installed.

Which parameter do I need to specify for this?

Hi, LaHae

MSIEXEC.EXE take all or none as parameters. By that I mean that if you pass no "Features" to it then all features are installed. If you pass even one, then the logic is reversed and only those features explicitly called are installed. https://help.pdf-xchange.com/sysadmin/u ... aller.html

Are you explicitly including F_KeyInstaller ?

If your objective is to install most features except a few specific ones, then a transform night be simpler. In a transform the logic is that all features are installed, like the command line when no features are passed, except those explicitly set to not install. It can make the command line far less cumbersome and prone to typographical error. https://help.pdf-xchange.com/sysadmin/u ... aller.html

If you want to post your command line arguments I can take a look at them for you.
Best regards

Hi Paul,

this was the solution. I must have overlooked it.

Thank for you support.
