How can the Lenze PLC Designer (e.g., version 4.2) be installed via silent installation, and what special considerations should be taken into account?
Answer:
The silent installation of the Lenze PLC Designer can be performed automatically via the command line.
Attached are text files describing the procedure.
Although the headings indicate they are for the EASY Starter, they also work
for the PLC Designer.
HowTo.txt – Contains the basic command-line invocation for the silent installation.
example_input.cfg – Example of a configuration file for defining the installation options. The relevant options must be adjusted.
README.txt– Documentation of the available command-line parameters for installations with and without a configuration file.
With configuration file (example_input.cfg) ,The command could then look like this, for example: "C:\temp\Lenze PLC Designer Setup 4.2.0" /S /M="example_input.cfg"
Without a configuration file (example_input.cfg) , the command might
look something like this: "C:\temp\Lenze PLC
Designer Setup 4.2.0" -s -lic XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX -user "lenze"
-company "lenze" -norestart
Additional notes:
The command-prompt should be run with Administrative rights.
