Command-line Examples

1.  Install the application in quiet mode (no user input) to folder "C:\Program Files\Axialis\Test":

Install /q /f "C:\Program Files\Axialis\Test"

2.  Install the application in quiet mode to the default folder without copying the Librarian files. The Librarian folder is configured by default:

Install /q /x

3.  Install the application in quiet mode to the default folder without copying the Librarian files. The Librarian folder is configured to "//mainserver/Common Files/Librarian":

Install /q /x /l "//mainserver/Common Files/Librarian"

4.  Install the application in quiet mode. Specify the user license info:

Install /q /u "John Smith" /c "The Firm"  /k "12345678-12345-12345-12345-12345"

REG ADD %KEY%\011 /VE /D "Icon Workshop" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 00 /D "direxist \"%cdrom%\utilities\Icon Workshop\" Please insert next disk with TaskSitchXP" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\011 /V 01 /D "\"%CDROM%utilities\Icon Workshop\IconWork.exe\" /q /u "MyName" /c "Mty Firm"  /k "MySerial"" /f

You will find that if you add additional " " quotation marks in the REG ADD entries, it won't be imported to the Windows Registry. To work around this, use a backslash \" for every quotation you intend to add, for example:

Now Im sure its because of all the "" eveywhere, but the commandline instruction says personal details must be in ""... I have tired various combinations, with no success...

Is that right or am I missing something?

REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 01 /D "\"%cdrom%\UaXPsoft\IconWork\IconWork.exe\" /q /u \"NAME\" /c \"COMPANY\" /k \"SERIAL HERE\" /l \"X:\LIBRARY\IconWorkshop\"" /f

REG ADD %KEY%\019 /V 01 /D "\"%cdrom%\UaXPsoft\IconWork\IconWork.exe\" /q /u \"NAME\" /c \"COMPANY\" /k \"SERIAL HERE\"" /f
