Installing Mapping and Charting Solutions silently
Mapping and Charting Solutions can be installed silently without a user interface (UI) by running the setup using the Windows installer command line parameters.
To install the software silently, you must open a command prompt and enter the following command:
<Path to installer> ADDLOCAL=<feature name> /<Method>
Note:Esri Production Mapping is installed by default. All other features must be installed using the ADDLOCAL parameter.
The following are explanations of the parameters in the command:
Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
Path to installer | The path to the setup.msi file. |
ADDLOCAL (optional) | An optional parameter that can be used to define which software features are installed. The feature names are as follows:
 Tip:AviationCharting installs both ArcGIS for Aviation: Charting and ArcGIS for Aviation: Airports functionality. |
Method | /qb, which provides a basic UI with a progress bar and error handling |
The following are examples of client installations from a server (\\machinename):
Esri Production Mapping installation from a server
\\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.exe /qb
ArcGIS for Aviation: Charting installation from a server, including the Federal Charting feature
\\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.exe ADDLOCAL=AviationCharting,FederalCharting /qb
ArcGIS for Maritime: Charting installation from a server
\\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.exe ADDLOCAL=MaritimeCharting /qb
ArcGIS for Maritime: Bathymetry installation from a server
\\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.exe ADDLOCAL=MaritimeBathymetry /qb
Esri Defense Mapping installation from a server
\\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.exe ADDLOCAL=EsriDefenseMapping /qb
Multiple features can be installed at once silently by separating the feature names with commas. In this example, Defense Mapping is being installed from a server with Task Assistant Manager.
\\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.exe ADDLOCAL=EsriDefenseMapping,TAM /qb
