Passing Parameters as Arguments

Here is how to perform a Silent Install using msiexec to pass parameters as arguments.

Prerequisites

• Make sure to use the .msi installer files to run the msiexec commands. For example, for Thinfinity® Workspace the installer would be: [installer_file.msi] .

• Make sure to run your command prompt with administrator privileges.

To install a .msi file silently, the required argument is /q or /quiet which allows the installation to run silently, without displaying the user interface.

msiexec /i [installer_file.msi] /q

Additionally, you can use the /log argument followed by a file name to generate a log of the installation process. For example:

msiexec /i [installer_file.msi] /q /log myLog.log

Installing Thinfinity Workspace in All Components mode

Use the next command to install all the components of Thinfinity Workspace.

msiexec /i [installer_file.msi] /q

Installing Thinfinity Workspace Gateway

To install only a Gateway, a Broker (Primary or Secondary), or an Agent, use the SM_TYPE parameter to specify the component. For example:

Info If the SM_TYPE parameter is not specified, Thinfinity Workspace will be installed in All Components mode by default.

msiexec /i [installer_file.msi] /q SM_TYPE="SM_Gateway"

msiexec /i [installer_file.msi] /q /l*v ServerGW.log CMDLINE="%CMDLINE%"  SM_TYPE="SM_Gateway"

Installing Thinfinity Workspace Broker Primary/Secondary

When installing a Broker, it's necessary to define its type using the BROKERROLE parameter. It can take one of two values: BROKERROLE="BR_Primary" or BROKERROLE="BR_Secondary".

Use the next command to install the Thinfinity Workspace Primary Broker:

msiexec /i [installer_file.msi] /q BROKERROLE="BR_Primary"
SM_TYPE="SM_Broker"

Use the next command to install the Thinfinity Workspace Secondary Broker:

msiexec /i [installer_file.msi] /q BROKERROLE="BR_Secondary"
SM_TYPE="SM_Broker"

Installing Thinfinity Workspace Agent

Use the next command to install the Thinfinity Workspace Agent:

msiexec /i [installer_file.msi] /q /log SM_TYPE="SM_Agent"

Additional Services Parameters

Thinfinity Workspace allows you to selectively skip the installation of certain services, which can help reduce network security vulnerabilities. There are four parameters that control specific services and files that can be configured: CLOUDMANAGER, WEBDAVSERVER, MULTITERMINAL, and FILEMANAGER. If any of these parameters are set to "0", the files corresponding to that service will be skipped during installation.

For example:

msiexec /i [installer_file.msi] /q /MULTITERMINAL=0 /CLOUDMANAGER=0

Will install Thinfinity Workspace without including the resources needed to create zScope access profiles or the Cloud Manager services.

If the parameters receive any other value, the components will be installed.
