    Silent installation and uninstallation of OpenBuildings Designer

      Product(s): OpenBuildings Designer
      Version(s): CONNECT Edition
      Area: Installation

    Background

    Silent-mode installation allows you to define an installation configuration and then use that configuration to install without any user interaction. This article will cover all the important aspects of Silent Installation of Bentley OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition.

    Steps to Accomplish

    (note that Update 7 filenames are used in this example)

    1. Download the application setup file from Bentley Software Downloads
    2. Keep the setup files in one folder. Let’s say here as C:\OBD.


    3. From the Windows start menu, open a Command Prompt as shown:


    4. In the command prompt dialog paste the below path/text and press enter.

      C:\OBD\obd100700105en_updt7 InstallDirectory="C:\Program Files\Bentley\OpenBuildings CONNECT Edition" WorkSpaceDirectory="C:\ProgramData\Bentley\OpenBuildings CONNECT Edition" -q -s -norestart



      Note:
      >> “-q -s -norestart” in the command line defines the following:
              -q(quiet) : Quiet mode,
              -s(silent):  no user interaction [Wix installer command for silent installation without any user interaction]
              -norestart: Do not restart after the installation is complete.
      >> InstallDirectory: This is the directory into which the OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition application files will be installed.
      >> ConfigurationDirectory: This directory contains the OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition configuration files and sample workset.

    5. Please ensure that while entering the command, the name of the installer is the same as the setup file name. For example, the setup file name above is: obd100700105en_updt7. If it’s something different then the command will change according the setup file name.

    6. This process may take some time depending on your internet speed since the required files are downloaded in the background. After that the application will silently get installed.

    7. One can check the installed application in the start menu and pinned to the taskbar or desktop as desired.

    Noted below:

    For uninstalling the Bentley OpenBuildings Designer CONNECT Edition, in the command prompt paste the below path/text & hit enter.

    "C:\OBD\obd100700105en_updt7.exe"  /uninstall -Quiet
