I am setting up an install across for across our enterprise
I will need to have it
I have this so far
blg6410001023en.exe InstallDesktopShortcut="" PostInstallLaunchApplicationArgs=1 PostInstallLaunchApplicationArgs=MinimizeOnSignInTrue" BeCheckUpdateIsEnabled=0 /q
I think I have 1-5 but I need 6 and 7; any help would be greatly appreciated
Hi Dave,Please find all available options while installing CONNECTION Client in silent mode in communities site:
https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/sign-in_assistance_and_web_services/w/wiki/36379/installation---silent
Lets us know the outcome.
That is where I got the switches.
I ran on a clean machine
Did not come up with silent install
So I canceled and ran with this
blg6410001023en.exe InstallDesktopShortcut="" /q PostInstallLaunchApplicationArgs=1 /q PostInstallLaunchApplicationArgs=MinimizeOnSignInTrue" /q BeCheckUpdateIsEnabled=0 /q
This does the install silently but still did create the desktop shortcut and did not minimize after install still came up with Get started and log in screen.
Rebooted (we will do a reboot after install in prod)
After reboot the Get started screen still came up and the Connection Client log in was not minimized
OK will review with Proxy team I have another question
Looks like the application creates the MySELECT.db at the time of CONNECTION Client launch under the users profile.C:\Users\xxxxxxxx\AppData\Local\Bentley
We would like to have a Seed "MySELECT.db" and a Seed "Bentley.Connect.Client.exe.config" that gets used NO MATTER who logs on to a machine ALL USERS. This is no problem if there is only one user on a machine.
The Bentley.Connect.Client.exe.config is easy for all users Common location. C:\Program Files\Common Files\Bentley Shared\CONNECTION Client
Where is the seed for MySELECT.db? If it is created by DLL is there a way to have the db populated with the configuration we need for all users. We do not want users to have to reinstall an application that is already on the machine.

Any Help?
Hi Dave,
There are some suggestions in this post on how to do it programmatically https://communities.bentley.com/communities/other_communities/sign-in_assistance_and_web_services/f/cloud-and-web-services-forum/142575/is-there-a-bentley-connection-client-gpo-and-or-what-are-the-registry-file-settings-to-control-the-preferences-in-an-enterprise-windows-environment/432365#432365

I looked at that answer before and it does not answer
The minimize setting can be set during install. The switch is in the silent install wiki mentioned Arturas. Other than that there's no way to pre-populate the other settings.
