Silent Install for Laserfiche Client

asked on May 24, 2022

Hi, when we are using a script to do unattended install for LF client upgrade, using silent command, the installation is freezing.  If we do manual install on the same workstation, following error is being generated a about some applications needs to be closed prior to the install.  Is there a way to ignore this when you're doing unattend install?

Hi Ajanthan,

Installers getting hung up on what should be unrelated Windows processes seems to be somewhat common. I'm not aware of a way to ignore the error for an unattended install. However, I would recommend trying restarting the machine before running the unattended install script. While I know that's inconvenient, in my experience, running the install after a restart usually avoids the process conflict errors you're seeing.

We did that and it didn't work.  Also, tried the Remove command and it asks to terminate some dependent process as well.  I have suggested killing related tasks process before the installation using a script.  The customer is testing it.  The unattended script acts differently for different workstations.

Okay, I hope that works out. I did a bit of research and it seems that MSI installers unfortunately do not have a command line flag available to ignore those errors.
