Installer Parameters and Unattended Installation
- Kiss, Mate
The Verba msi installers files can be started from the command line with additional parameters. The installers can be started the following way:
msiexec /i VerbaRecording.msi [logging setting] [/quiet] [verba parameters]
Logging setting
Loggin can be added by the /L parameter, plus the letters which specify the required information. For example /LE means logging the errors only, or /LEI means logging the errors and the status messages. For Verba, the recommended setting is /L*V. After the logging setting, a file name also has to be specified for the output, for example "/L*V installer.log". The following table describes the available options:
| Letter | Log entries |
|---|---|
| V | Verbose output |
| O | Out-of-disk-space messages |
| I | Status messages |
| C | Initial UI parameters |
| E | All error messages |
| W | Non-fatal warnings |
| A | Startup of actions |
| R | Action-specific records |
| M | Out-of-memory or fatal exit information |
| U | User requests |
| P | Terminal properties |
| X | Extra debugging information. |
| * | Wildcard for adding all parameters, except the V and X. |
| + | Append to existing file |
| ! | Flush each line to the log |
Quiet Mode
Quiet mode enables the installation of the Verba software with a single command, without using the GUI. In this case, all settings going to be set based on the provided parameters.
If quiet mode is used, the SKIPSQLSEQUENCE=1 parameter is mandatory!
