Installing Mapping and Charting solutions silently

Esri 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:

msiexec /i <Path to installer> ADDLOCAL=<feature name> /<Method>
NoteNote:

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:

  • Esri Production MappingEsriProductionMapping
  • Production Mapping subfeatures:
    • Atlas—Atlas
    • Task Assistant ManagerTAM
  • Esri Aeronautical SolutionEsriAeronautical
  • Esri Bathymetry—EsriBathymetry
  • Esri Defense MappingEsriDefenseMapping
  • Esri Nautical Solution—EsriNautical

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

msiexec /i \\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.msi /qb

Esri Aeronautical Solution installation from a server

msiexec /i \\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.msi ADDLOCAL=EsriAeronautical /qb

Esri Defense Mapping installation from a server

msiexec /i \\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.msi ADDLOCAL=EsriDefenseMapping /qb

Esri Nautical Solution installation from a server

msiexec /i \\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.msi ADDLOCAL=EsriNautical /qb

Esri Bathymetry installation from a server

msiexec /i \\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.msi ADDLOCAL=EsriBathymetry /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.

msiexec /i \\machinename\MCS\Setup\setup.msi ADDLOCAL=EsriDefenseMapping,TAM /qb
