Modes of unattended installation
The installation program is downloaded as a setup file (ezeepApp.exe, for example). From this installer an .msi file can be unpacked using the parameter /a. You have to decide on one of the following procedures for unattended installation:
Ether:
- Installation via setup file
All necessary components will be copied to the target machine. Afterwards the setup file will be started there with parameters. - Installation via .msi file
Distribution of the .msi file. Extract the .msi file from the setup file with the parameter /a.
Download the setup file/installer
- Login to the ezeep Blue Admin portal.
- Select "Apps & Downloads".
- Download the installer for Windows.
Installation via setup file
- Copy the setup file to a directory of the target windows machine.
- Open a command prompt as administrator and change into the directory that contains the downloaded installer file.
- Run one of the following commands to start the unattended installation:
- Examples below:
- For ezeep Blue Print App: ezeepPrintApp.exe /S /V"/qn/"
- For ezeep Blue Print App with Azure auto-login enabled: ezeepPrintApp.exe /S /V“/qn/ ADDLOCAL=ALL”
- For ezeep Blue Connector for Print Server: ezeepConnectorforPS.exe /S /V"/qn/"
- For ezeep Blue Remote Desktop Agent: ezeepConnectorforPS.exe /S /V"/qn/"
Installation via .msi file - Unpacking the setup file
From this setup file an .msi file can be unpacked using the parameter /a. Extract the .msi file of the setup program, for example.
ezeepPrintApp.exe /s /a"C:\temp\extract\SetupPrerequisites" /b"C:\temp\extract\FullMSI" /v"TARGETDIR=C:\temp\extract /qb"
ezeepConnectorforPS.exe /s /a"C:\temp\extract\SetupPrerequisites" /b"C:\temp\extract\FullMSI" /v"TARGETDIR=C:\temp\extract /qb"ezeepConnector.exe /s /a"C:\temp\extract\SetupPrerequisites" /b"C:\temp\extract\FullMSI" /v"TARGETDIR=C:\temp\extract /qb"
Note: This will unpack the .msi file and the prerequisites to c:\install
The /b parameter ensures that the signature of the MSI file is retained
For a successful automatic deployment, deploy the software packages from the folder .\SetupPrerequisites first before installing the MSI file from the folder .\extract\FullMSI. 
The MSI can now be used to deploy with the respective msi parameters
