Hi!
I’ve taken the FP1 package for Lotus Notes in Smart Upgrade Kit Application. It works, but users have to click “next”–“next”…
Does anybody now the arguments for silent install of the package? → it is not an msi file; just the exe of FP1.
Best regards

Subject: FP1 Smart Upgrade Kit - silent upgrade
Hi Michael
I’ve done the following as our users don’t have the administrative rights on their computers.
Run FP1 on your computer and save the files on C:\85FP1
Copy these files to a network share lets assume \SERVER\SHARE\SMARTUPGRADE\85FP1 where all the users have read access
Create a batch file \SERVER\SHARE\SMARTUPGRADE\85FP1\install.bat
with content
setup.exe /s /v/qb+!
where /s is silent and /v passes to msiexec and /qb+! gives a progress bar so that the users can see something happens (useful as it’s a big install) and the ! removes the ‘Cancel’ button so that they can’t back out.
Now use the SUSetRunAsWizard.exe to create an SuRunAs.exe with no parameters just to encrypt the Admin user that will run the install and point it to the install.bat file you just created.
Create the smartupgrade kit and attach the file again no options needed.
Should do the trick.
Best regards

Subject: without share?
we can’t use a network share to deploy- we have different locations
we doesn’t have a Anonymous network share
not all clients are in the same windows domain
…
we have to use the option to deliver the update with the smart upgrade document (package as attachment). And for this i’m searching the arguments for silent install.
Subject: Found something that might work
I renamed the long file as basic85fp1.exe. Then I tried installing the 8.5 FP1 using test as a parameter, like this:
basic85fp1.exe test
I knew this couldn’t be right, but I got the file to tell me what valid parameters are. This is what displayed:
Command Line Help:
NOCHECKSUM - skip application Integrity Verification
NOUSER - automatic upgrade mode with console output only
NOUI - silent upgrade mode
I tried NOUI and NOUSER and they both worked great.
Subject: I’ve tried this. It works…but
The integrated Sametime didn’t get installed. Any suggestions on how to incorporate the integrated Sametime to install with it?
Thanks

Subject: sort of works
I had to package everything within the suSetRunasWizard.exe package to get this to work properly with /s /v"/qb+" arguments. (Mostly because we use mapped network drives for everyone and the UNC path didn’t like X:\etcetc I figure)
It worked fine on my test box, but every real workstation gets a couple errors on it’s way through which refer to workspace\logs.

ick.
Subject: I think the command line might be
-a /s /v"/qb!"
but I’m double checking
Subject: I use
-s -a /s /v"/qb+!"
which also drops the “Cancel button”…
Subject: That appears to work. Great
-s -a /s /v"/qb+!"
Thanks!
Subject: Works, but ther’s an OK botton at the end
I use Repack the installation (to get Company logo when extracing) and then rung:Setup.exe /s /v"/qb+!"
This works fine but i get an OK box when the installatin is finished. How do make that one disappear (Hole installation is run with SmartUpgrade, so I just want the Upgraded Notes client to start when Upgrade is finish)?
Subject: Any solution for OK box?
Is there any solution to get rid of the OK box?
A customer uses Symantec Altiris to push out the installation package to the clients. And there is no way to get status on the server if the installation of fix pack went ok, until the user click on the OK box. This is a major issue.
Subject: Found solution
Correct string: setup.exe /s /v"/qn"
I was using the string: setup.exe /s /v/qn without the doublequotes ".
Subject: no effect
I’ve tried it. Always the dialog for extract data pop up.
Best regards
Michael
