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. To set up a silent installation follow the instructions below.

Install for All Users

To install for All Users on the machine, run the installation file from an Administrator command prompt with the following arguments (to install for the Current User only, run the same but from a normal non-Administrator command prompt):

Enscape-4.0.0.exe -gui=0 -acceptEULA

The -acceptEULA argument will accept the EULA. If you do not specify the -acceptEULA option, the installer will terminate because the EULA was not accepted.

Follow the instructions of the install 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 file. Save this config.xml file as you will need it to install Enscape on other machines.

Install Enscape on other machines

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

Enscape-4.0.0.exe -gui=0 -acceptEULA -configFile="config.xml" -quiet=1

The -quiet=1 argument will cause the installer to read the variable values from the .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, 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.

Configuration File

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

<DefValues>
<Value Name="LOCALE" DataType="value">de</Value>
<Value Name="STDROOT" DataType="value">C:\Program Files\Enscape</Value>
<Value Name="INSTALL_ARCHICAD" DataType="value">1</Value>
<Value Name="INSTALL_RHINO" DataType="value">1</Value>
<Value Name="INSTALL_SKETCHUP" DataType="value">1</Value>
<Value Name="INSTALL_VECTORWORKS" DataType="value">1</Value>
