Installing the HotDocs Core Assembly Service Unattended (Silent Install)
You can install the HotDocs Core Assembly Service in an unattended manner, i.e. without the need to navigate through the installers options manually. This method of installing the Core Assembly Service is useful for system administrators who need to deploy or update the assembly service on multiple computers and particularly useful when you want to install author with some custom install settings using the command line.
Prerequisites
- Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 or later
- .NET Framework 4.8 or later
- Microsoft SQL Server 2016 or later
To install the HotDocs Core Assembly Service Via Silent Install
- Open Command Prompt using Run as Administrator
- Type setupCore.exe /s /v and then type the required install settings (and any other custom install settings you want), followed by /qn (being sure to use the conventions specified by InstallShield). For example:
-
- setupCore.exe /s /v"USERDATABASE_USER=\"IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool\" IS_SQLSERVER_SERVER=\"(local)\SQLEXPRESS\" IS_SQLSERVER_AUTHENTICATION=\"0\" SQLSERVER_USERDATABASE=\"HotDocsAssemblyService\" LICENSEKEY=\"xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx\" ASSEMBLYSESSION_CONNECTION=\"[DBCONNECTIONSTRING]\" ASSEMBLYSTORAGE_CONNECTION=\"[DBCONNECTIONSTRING]\" ALLOWEDDOMAINSPROPERTY=\"*.*\" /qn"
-
-
HotDocs will then complete the rest of the unattended installation.
To generate a log file for a silent install
If you need to generate a log file for a silent install, add InstallShield's debuglog switch to the command, specifying the path to the log file you want the installer to create:
/debugLog"C:\temp\silentinstall.log"
For example:
setupCore.exe /s /v"USERDATABASE_USER=\"IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool\" IS_SQLSERVER_SERVER=\"(local)\SQLEXPRESS\" IS_SQLSERVER_AUTHENTICATION=\"0\" SQLSERVER_USERDATABASE=\"HotDocsAssemblyService\" LICENSEKEY=\"xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx\" ASSEMBLYSESSION_CONNECTION=\"[DBCONNECTIONSTRING]\" ASSEMBLYSTORAGE_CONNECTION=\"[DBCONNECTIONSTRING]\" ALLOWEDDOMAINSPROPERTY=\"*.*\" IISSELECTEDWEBSITE=\"Default Web Site\" /qn" /debugLog"C:\temp\silentinstall.log"
