Background

Silent-mode installation allows you to define an installation configuration and then use the configuration to install without any user interaction.

There are two ways to execute the silent installation:

1. Create a Deployment Image.
2. Directly use the Setup File.

Create a Deployment Image

Create a Deployment image which will act as a pre-configured offline installer. This method has the following benefits:

• Internet connection is not required on the destination workstations.
• Downloading and installing pre-requisite packs and other required software on the workstations is not required.
• The installation and other paths can be set in the deployment image. This results in the product installed to and configured to use the same paths on all workstations.
• The features and companion applications to be installed are selected when creating deployment image. This results in all workstations having the same installed components.

Directly use the Setup File

You need to configure the InstallDirectory & ConfigurationDirectory variable to control the installation and configuration directories at the desired location. In this method, there will be no possibility to control the features and the companion applications which means everything delivered with the package will be installed.

This article will cover all the important aspects of Silent Installation of Bentley Raceway and Cable Management CONNECT Edition.

2. After the Deployment Image has been created, the Deployment Image folder needs to be copied / deployed on the Machine locally where Bentley Raceway and Cable Management CONNECT Edition needs to be installed Silently.
   Note: The Installation Path & Configuration Path Selected while creating Deployment Image will be default Path for Silent Installation unless specified during Silent Installation.
   
   
   
3. Next the copied Deployment Image folder will contain the setup file for Bentley Raceway and Cable Management CONNECT Edition like " Setup_BRCMx64_10.05.00.54 ". Copy the Mapping Path as highlighted in the above image. After the Path is copied open Windows "Command Prompt" by searching in Windows Search.
   
   
   
4. To Silent install with the Installation Path and Configuration path details selected while creating Deployment Image, you need to Paste the copied Path for the BRCM Setup as shown in the image below.
   
   
   
   
5. Paste the Setup file name after the file location.
   
   
   
6. Now add “-q -s -restart” in the command line and Press Enter to execute.
   -q(quiet) -s(silent): Quiet mode, no user interaction [wix bootsrapper command for silent installation without any user interaction].
    -nonrestart: Do not restart after the installation is complete.
   
   

The following steps are for Silent installation directly through Setup file:

1. Paste the copied path for the BRCM Setup followed by the Setup file name as shown in the image below. This command will execute a silent installation at the default path using default settings.
   
   
   
2. To Install Bentley Raceway and Cable Management CONNECT Edition at a Specific Installation Folder and Configuration Folder; you can use the below given variables to specify the locations as shown in the image.
   

   InstallDirectory: This is the directory into which the Bentley Raceway and Cable Management CONNECT Edition’s associated files will be installed. (all supporting .dll and other files).
   ConfigurationDirectory: This directory contains configuration files and sample workset.
