2.4 Silently Installing the Module

To silently (without user intervention) install a module, create an initialization file (.ini) for this module that includes the required property names and values to use during the installation.

To create and use an initialization file for a silent installation:

  1. Create a new text file and change the filename extension from .txt to .ini.

  2. To specify the community string required to access hardware resources, include the following text in the .ini file:

    MO_CommunityString=string name

    where string name is the name of the community string, such as public.

  3. Save and close the .ini file.

  4. Run the following command from the folder in which you saved the module installer:

    msiexec.exe /i "AM70-Dell-8.x.x.0.msi" /qn MO_CONFIGOUTINI="full path to the initialization file"

    where x.x is the actual version number of the module installer.

To create a log file that describes the operations of the module installer, add the following flag to the command noted above:

/L* "AM70-Dell-8.x.x.0.msi.log"

The log file is created in the folder in which you saved the module installer.
