Silent install for runtime

Former Member · ‎07-31-2012

I'm trying to create a silent install for the installation of the .Net SDK Runtime.

The only documentation I can find is in xi4_bip_net_runtime_en.pdf and it simply states..

3.2.2 Performing a silent runtime installation

With the SAP BusinessObjects BI platform .NET SDK runtime Windows Installer, you can perform a

silent install on a client machine. A silent installation is an installation that is done entirely from the

command line and requires no user interaction.

1. Go to the command prompt.

2. Change to the directory where the SAP BusinessObjects BI platform .NET SDK runtime Windows

Installer package is located.

3. Enter the following command: setup.exe installdir=C:\Program Files (x86)\setupui

language=en features=netruntimecontent,root /qn .

The application installs.

Which does not work.

Where can I find more information?

Assuming you are using Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 201010:

1. Download the .NET Server Install file (MSI) for Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 from the following link:

2. From your Desktop, click 'Start' and select 'Run'.

3. In the Run dialog box, type a command line similar to the following example:

pidkey=XXXXX-XXXXXXX-XXXXXXX

" Where "msiexec" is the executable that runs the installation.

" Where "/i" is the command switch to install.

" Where "\\yourcomputer\yourlocation\XXXXX.msi" is the path and file name of the MSI file.

" Where "/qr" is the command for quiet install (reduced user interface). A modal dialog box is displayed at the end of the installation.

For more information on using the Microsoft Installer, refer to the following Microsoft knowledge base articles at http://support.microsoft.com:
