Installing LabVIEW-Built Installers Silently

Note LabVIEW can build two types of installers: Installer and Package. You can choose to build either of them in Build Specification. For differences between the two types of installers, refer to Using Build Specifications.

To install a Package, refer to Automating an Installer in Package Manager User Manual.

To install an Installer silently, refer to the following content.

You can use the command line window to install LabVIEW-built installers silently. If you use the command line window to install a LabVIEW-built installer silently, consider the size of the installer. Because the installer does not display a progress bar during installation, it may be difficult to determine the progress of the installer. Therefore, a larger installer will take more time, and you will not be able to determine how much longer the installer will run.

Complete the following steps to install a LabVIEW-built installer silently.

  1. Create a LabVIEW-built installer for the LabVIEW-built application.
  2. Open the command line window.
  3. Enter the following command to run the installer silently.

    path \install.exe /q /acceptlicenses yes, where path is the path to install.exe.

    If you have customized the installer name in the installer properties, make sure you replace the install.exe with your installer name.

Note If your LabVIEW version does not support customizing the installer name, the installer name is setup.exe. You should use the following command: path \setup.exe /q /acceptlicenses yes.
