Version 12 Laserfiche How To Administration Installation and Upgrades

Updated one day ago

asked on April 7

I want to create a MECM deployment package for the latest LF Repository Desktop Client (12.0.2504.527) using the new Laserfiche Installer files I've downloaded, but I'm not sure what the recommended approach would be. The existing v12 documentation on unattended installation does not include options for these files, as there is no longer a "setuplf.exe". Instead, I see the following files:

ndp48-web.exe
VC_redist.x64.exe
VC_redist.x86.exe
package.manifest
WindowsClient-x64.msi

Is there any official guidance on the best way to install these (using PowerShell, for example)? Thank you.

Since I don't want to wait until Fall to deploy this, I went ahead and created my own PowerShell functions here: kawells/Laserfiche-Deployment. I haven't tested all of the functions (for example, uninstalling the preamble applications, since I don't have any installed), so please open an issue on Github if anything isn't behaving as expected. I've added plenty of comments to the code if you wish to see what it does.

There is no official documentation for now to unattended install desktop client, and it is planned to support unattended installation by Laserfiche Installer.

For now, but you can try to create PowerShell to install prerequisites then the WindowsClient-x64.msi. The prerequisites installation can refer to the content of package.manifest, simply run the given executable (Path) with parameters (Commandline). And run WindowsClient-x64.msi with standard options (Microsoft Standard Installer command-line options - Win32 apps | Microsoft Learn)
