Install and uninstall in silent mode on Microsoft Windows platforms
Install or uninstall the Genero Application Server in silent mode on Microsoft® Windows® platforms.
The installation and licensing of Genero products requires you to read and accept the End User License Agreement, which can be found on the Four Js website at http://4js.com/end-user-license-agreements/.
To install or uninstall the GAS in silent mode, you can use the msiexec command line utility. The msiexec utility provides the means to install, modify, and perform operations on Windows Installer from the command line.
The msiexec utility expects a msi file, which is embedded into the setup program. To extract it, execute the following command:
fjs-gas-version-build-osident.exe /x
Example:
fjs-gas-3.10.05-build129065-v32v100.exe /x
A msi file will be created in the same directory and with the same name as the exe file.
Options
The following options for msiexec are the most common relating to an install and uninstall. Enter msiexec from the command prompt to view the complete list of available options.
