Question

Unattended client install still shows UI and plug in requests.

Laserfiche Version 10 Installation and Upgrades

Updated November 19, 2018

asked on November 15, 2018

After reviewing the admin guide for LF10 client install, we are calling the installer in a batch file using the following format:

\\laserfiche\Laserfiche10.2Client\Setuplf.exe -silent -noui -iacceptlicenseagreement INSTALLLEVEL=300

My understanding from the guide is that this should accept the terms and install silently without presenting a ui to the user. However, using the above, the progress ui is still presented, and the installer pauses several times to open browsers and acknowledge the plug in install to each browser. Am I missing something in the syntax for the silent install, and is there a way to handle the browser prompts from the LF install (or does this require some sort of whitelisting or allowance in policy for each of the individual browsers?)

Ideally, we would like a completely silent install that doesn't impact the end user. Thanks in advance! I checked through past posts and saw items for general unattended options but nothing specific to the browser prompts. Apologies if I missed a posted answer on this!

See Justin's response in Laserfiche 10.1 Silent Install

Basically, -noui takes precedence over -silent, so you want to remove the -noui to make it a silent install.

Thank you Bert. I did in fact miss this post. (And, I did assume -noUI was for "user interface" :)

-noUI stands for 'no user interaction' (not no user interface)

After review, this resolved the UI coming up for us during install. We do still get prompted for the plug ins for the browsers. I imagine this is likely a control from the browsers (we need to allow installing plug in without prompt for each browser), but as a control from the Laserfiche install, it is possible to omit the browser plug ins completely until we can configure the browsers to allow for installing these silently as well?

Hi Luke,

The Scanning and Office Plug-in modules will install the browser plug-in's, so removing those should prevent these steps. You would have to use ADDLOCAL in this case, since you can't just fall back on INSTALLLEVEL. Basically, you would add an ADDLOCAL line for each component you wanted, ex: LFCADDLOCAL=ALL, LFAADDLOCAL=ALL would install all components of the windows client and admin modules, and nothing else. You can see all the possible items at https://www.laserfiche.com/support/webhelp/Laserfiche/10/en-us/administration/#../Subsystems/LFAdmin/Content/Installation/Properties.htm.

Note that we are updating how we handle the plug-ins to avoid interactions like this, but that unfortunately didn't make it into the upcoming 10.4 release.
