Automating the Installation of a Suited Installer

Primary Software: NI Installers>>Installer Framework
Primary Software Version: 2.6
Primary Software Fixed Version: N/A
Secondary Software: N/A

Problem: How can I install my software suite silently?

Solution:

Note:  This information is specific to a suited installer.  To determine the type of your installer, see How Can I Determine the Type and Version of My National Instruments Installer?  For silent installation of a regular NI Installer, see Automating the Installation of National Instruments Software.

For a typical silent installation, use the /q and /acceptlicenses arguments.  For example: 

setup.exe /q /acceptlicenses yes

This silently installs the products that are configured to install by default if you launch the suite installer interactively.  For an automated install with a custom configuration, bypass the suite installer by using a batch file to call the individual installers.  When calling the individual installers, you can specify a spec file to customize the installation.  For more information on this process, see Automating the Installation of National Instruments Software.

Other suite installer command-line arguments are:

/log <log file> Installer writes a debug log file at the location <log file>.   For example:  /log c:\temp\log.text
 /results <results file>

Saves a summary of the installation results at the location specified by <results file>.  For example: 
/results c:\temp\results.txt
/r[:n][:f]

By default, the installer will prompt for reboot at completion.  Use the flag /r:n to suppress reboot, or /r:f to force a reboot.
