Command line installation of Signature Manager Exchange Edition or Mail Disclaimers

Abstract

In certain situations, it may be desirable to install Signature Manager Exchange Edition or Mail Disclaimers without using the installation wizard, for example to perform a silent install on multiple servers quickly and automatically.

Details

The following is a list of supported command-line installation options:

Parameter	Description
INSTALL LOCATION	This is the directory where the application is to be installed. This corresponds to the Installation Directory screen in the installation wizard.
REMOTE DEPLOYMENT FOLDER	This is the folder to monitor for Remote Deployment updates. There is no installation wizard equivalent of this option; it is provided for use in multi-server environments to remove the need to run the First Use Wizard and then specify the location to read configuration data from.

There are no mandatory parameters – the default installation path is

Signature Manager Exchange Edition:
C:\Program Files\Exclaimer Ltd\Signature Manager Exchange Edition\

Mail Disclaimer:

C:\Program Files\Exclaimer Ltd\Mail Disclaimers\

and the Remote Deployment feature will not be configured.
To use either of these options, specify them in the command, e.g.
msiexec /i "[path to installer]\Signature Manager Exchange Edition Install.msi" /qn INSTALLLOCATION="D:\Program Files\Exclaimer Ltd\Signature Manager Exchange Edition\" REMOTEDEPLOYMENTFOLDER="\\servername\share\path\"

msiexec /i "[path to installer]\Mail Disclaimer Install.msi" /qn INSTALLLOCATION="D:\Program Files\Exclaimer Ltd\Mail Disclaimers\" REMOTEDEPLOYMENTFOLDER="\\servername\share\path\"

Please note that it is not possible to use environment variables in the paths. You will need to explicitly specify the entire path for both installation and remote deployment.
