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
Maybe a typo(s): The referenced document show using PostInstallLaunchApplicationArgs="/MinimizeOnSignInTrue" (notice the leading "/"). Also, for silent install and no updates "BeCkeckUpdateOption=3 /q" or "BeCheckUpdateOption=3 BeCheckUpdateIsEnabled=0 /q"
What about Notifications Disabled and Disable Connection Share Sync
I uninstalled - rebooted and then ran
blg6410001023en.exe InstallDesktopShortcut="0" /q PostInstallLaunchApplicationArgs=1 /q PostInstallLaunchApplicationArgs="/MinimizeOnSignInTrue" /q BeCheckUpdateIsEnabled=3 /q
Reboot
Desktop icon still shows up on desktop
Connection client startup still shows up
Connection client login still open looking for log in not minimized
To keep CONNECTION Client from automatically starting following the installation, please specify an argument of PostInstallLaunchApplication=1, not PostInstallLaunchApplicationArgs=1.
The option for automatically minimizing on sign in is a new feature that will be incorporated in the next release of CONNECTION Client (10.00.11.xx). It is completing some final testing prior to release. The silent installation documentation was updated a bit prematurely. Apologies for the confusion! The documentation has been updated to reflect that this feature is available in 10.00.11.xx or later.
After some testing, I confirmed that the InstallDesktopShortcut parameter to suppress creation of the desktop shortcut is not working. A defect has been filed with development to address the issue.
DaveSime said:What about Notifications Disabled and Disable Connection Share Sync
If CONNECTION Client is configured not to check for software updates, this will disable software update-related notifications as well. Remaining notifications may be for changes to CONNECTED projects to which a user belongs. As for ProjectWise Share, it is already turned off by default. Users must explicitly turn the feature on to use it.
The following command will install CONNECTION Client 10.00.10.23 silently, keep it from starting immediately following installation, and permanently disable software updates. The desktop shortcut and minimize on startup parameters have been omitted since they do not function in this version:
blg6410001023en.exe PostInstallLaunchApplication=1 BeCheckUpdateOption=3 BeCheckUpdateIsEnabled=0 /q
Thank You
This works we will have to remove the desktop icon in a post install step.
I have a couple more questions
We do not want it to launch on start up. I see it puts a key in the Registry but if I delete it is replaced on start up. How do I get it to not launch on start up.
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"MySELECT.exe"="C:\\Program Files\\Common Files\\Bentley Shared\\CONNECTION Client\\Bentley.Connect.Client.exe"
Is the re an ETA on 10.00.11.xx
