Silent Installation Procedure on the Microsoft Windows Systems

Take the following steps to install the Catalogic DPX Master Server or the Catalogic DPX Client on the Microsoft Windows system by using the script file:

  1. Go to the Catalogic MySupport website.

  2. Go to the product page such as DPX 4.9.0 and download either one of the following files:

    • Microsoft Windows full installer EXE (DPX-4.9.0-win-x64-installer.exe)

    • Microsoft Windows client only installer EXE (DPX-4.9.0-win-x64-clientonly-installer.exe)

    Verify the MD5 checksum value of the program file by using either Microsoft Windows PowerShell or Microsoft PowerShell. For example, you can check the MD5 checksum value of Microsoft Windows full installer EXE by using a command which is similar to the following example:

    PS> Get-FileHash -Algorithm MD5 `
  -Path C:\Users\Dee-Parker\Desktop\DPX-4.9.0-win-x64-installer.exe `
  | Select-Object Hash

  3. Go back to the Catalogic MySupport page in your web browser. From the navigation pane, click Tools to go to the Tools & Utilities page. In the DPX Related Utilities section, click winsilent Zip to download the ZIP archive file. Extract the ZIP archive file in your workstation and you can see the winsilent.bat script file for the product installation of the Catalogic DPX Master Server or the Catalogic DPX Client.

  4. Open the script file with a text editor such as Microsoft Notepad.

  5. Search the script file with MODIFY THIS SECTION ONLY and go to this section. Refer to the instructions in the comment lines which start with @rem and enter the values in the key-value section.

    For example, assume that you want to install the Catalogic DPX Master Server on your Microsoft Windows system with the following configurations:

    • The product to install: Catalogic DPX Master Server

    • The full path of the installer file: C:\User\Dee-Parker\Desktop\DPX-4.9.0-win-x64-installer.exe

    • The IPv4 address of the Catalogic DPX Master Server: 10.0.0.100

    • The full path of a new folder in which the Catalogic DPX Master Server is stored: C:\Program Files\DPX\ (default)

    • Product key: 0000000000000000000000

    • Automatically restart the Microsoft Windows system after the silent installation: No (default)

    In this case, the parameter lines should be similar to the following example:

    @set INSTALLLEVEL=100
@set INSTALLER=\"C:\User\Dee-Parker\Desktop\"
@set MASTERSRV=\"10.0.0.100\"
@set PRODUCTDIR=\"C:\Program Files\DPX\"
@set PRODUCTKEY=0000000000000000000000
@set VAP=No
@set BEX_VIRPROXY=No
@set REBOOT_THE_MACHINE=No

    Save the script file and quit the text editor.

  6. Copy the modified script file and the desired installer executable to a location your client node can access and run the script. The script and installer can either be directly copied to the client machine, or invoked from a network share.

Ensure that the Catalogic DPX Master Server or the Catalogic DPX Client was installed in the Microsoft Windows system.
