40 • AirMedia® Presentation Gateway
Security Reference Guide — Doc. 7693W
NOTE:
If the .msi file is executed without using the
msiexec
application as shown, no options
are respected at the command line, and the AirMedia sender application silently installs and
presents the connection window for IP address or host name entry.
The general format for running the installer is as follows:
msiexec /I AirMedia_Windows_<VERSION>_deployable.msi /qn <OPTIONS>
l
/I
: The command line switch that tells
msiexec
to install the msi (required)
l
<VERSION>
: The version number of the deployable .msi file
l
/qn
: The command line switch that suppresses .msi dialogs
l
<OPTIONS>
: One or more of the following options, separated by spaces:
o
INSTALLATIONMODE=--silent
: Suppresses the launching of the AirMedia sender
application after installation is complete (the default behavior is to launch the
AirMedia sender application)
When the option is silent and
/qn
is used, the installer will suppress any installer
dialogs, and the AirMedia sender application will not be launched after installation
o
INSTALLPATH=<PATH>
: Installs the AirMedia sender application in the specified path
on the device rather than the default location
o
SHORTCUTOPTION=<OPTION>
: Installs shortcuts according to one of four specified
options:
n
--none
: Installs no shortcuts
n
--desktop
: Installs an application shortcut only to the desktop
n
--menu
: Installs an application shortcut only to the Start menu
n
--all
: Installs an application shortcut to both the desktop and the Start
menu
Examples of .msi installation are as follows:
l
msiexec /I AirMedia_Windows_3.0.1.254_deployable.msi/qn
INSTALLATIONMODE=--silent SHORTCUTOPTION=--menu
This command installs the AirMedia sender application silently, without any dialogs or
notifications, with only the Start menu shortcut installed, and without the AirMedia sender
application starting after installation.
l
msiexec /I AirMedia_Windows_3.0.1.254_deployable.msi/qn
INSTALLATIONMODE=--silent INSTALLPATH=D:\AirMedia
This command installs the AirMedia sender application with desktop and Start menu
shortcuts. It installs the application in a path not on the main Windows partition of the
machine.
l
msiexec /I AirMedia_Windows_3.0.1.254_deployable.msi
This command may be used to observe the behavior of the installer as it installs the
AirMedia sender application to validate its operation visually.
