The installation of ibaCapturecan also be started via command line. This is helpful for central software administration or when using deployment systems.

The installation process can also run in the so-called "Silent Mode", meaning that there is no interaction with the user (clicking the <Next> button in the installation wizard).

You can control how the installation should take place and which components should be installed with the command line switches that are set after the call of the installation program.

Notation:

ibaCaptureSetup_vX.Y.Z.exe [/VERYSILENT /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES] [/COMPONENTS=] [/TASKS=] [/DIR=] [/PORT] [/LANG=]

/HELP

This switch shows a message box containing all supported command line parameters.

/SILENT

This switch installs the software in "silent mode", i.e., interaction is not required during installation.

All installer pages are skipped except the Installing page showing the installation progress. The installer runs without specifying additional parameters, as if <Next> were always pressed in the dialog.

/VERYSILENT

Works like "/SILENT" but nothing is shown.

/SUPPRESSMSGBOXES

Suppresses all pop-up messages. Use this option especially in combination with /VERYSILENT to guarantee a completely GUI free installation.

/TASKS=

This switch allows you to specify whether a desktop icon should be created during installation.

Examples:

/TASKS=desktopicon

/TASKS=nodesktopicon

/DIR=

Use this switch to specify the installation folder, i.e. the program folder.

Example:

/DIR="C:\Programme (x86)\iba\ibaProduct"

/LANG=

This switch sets the language of the installer (by default, the language of the operating system is used). Possible options: de, en, es, fr, it, ja, pt, ru, zh.

Examples:

/LANG=en

/LANG=de

/COMPONENTS=

Use this switch to select the installed components. Possible values are:

  • ibacaptureplayer

  • ibacapturemanager

  • ibacaptureserver

  • ibacaptureencoder

Example:

/COMPONENTS=ibacaptureplayer,ibacapturemanager
