Noui install still prompts the user to click finish.

Laserfiche Version 9 Installation and Upgrades
Updated December 11, 2014
asked on November 19, 2014

HI, We are in the processes of setup a SCCM to roll-out the upgraded version of the LF9.2 client to 250 users the day after our server upgrade is complete. The command we use works well in both SCCM or even if we just run this in a .bat file.

See string below:

"%~dp0Client\setup" -noui -iacceptlicenseagreement LFCADDLOCAL="ALL" LFOADDLOCAL="ALL" LFSSADDLOCAL="ALL" LFDADDLOCAL="ALL"

Our concern is that the above command runs perfect for the entire installation process and the user can see the progress etc. However right at the End the "Finish" still needs interaction from the user to click the "Finish" button. If we want to roll this out over the weekend with the users not physically at their desks, the fear is that SCCM is going to eventually time out because it does not get to finish timeously. Is there a way for it to still run in this manner but just not require the Finish button to be clicked?

We don't really want to do the install level route as this would mean there are components such a photodocs that will be installed, just because we need snapshot, and we don't want that.

Sorry for the late response. If -noui is specified then setup.exe will stick around for 5 seconds on the last page before exiting.

One thing to be aware of is that noUI does not stand for 'no user interface', simply 'no user interaction'. You can also use silent if you want something that is truly has no user interface. Generally I recommend using noUI anyway since otherwise errors are suppressed along with everything else, but if you truly need something that shouldn't ever even display anything to the user, that's an option.

Thank you Justin.

we ended up going with -silent. We would have prefered to use -noui for the same reason, so that the user could see the progress if they were logged in. however we did not expereince the timeout and auto close after a period of time once done. so we ended up using -silent to ensure SCCM did not report the installation as a Failure when it actually did finish.

You don't need to click the "Finish" button; when "-noui" is specified, the installer will click it for you after five seconds. This is so that people who like to monitor the progress can get a visible confirmation that the installation completed successfully. If that is still problematic, you can suppress all UI by replacing "-noui" with "-silent", but you will lose the progress bar and message boxes as well.
