As I had mentioned in my earlier blogs, installation of Notes Browser Plug-in supports both GUI based and Silent Install options. As also mentioned before, there are multiple packages that we support - Standalone Notes Browser Plug-in installation (MIN & MAX), and one with Notes Standard Client.
Both of above installations support "Silent Install"
Go to Command prompt. and change the directory where setup. exe /installer is copied.
Provide below command from command prompt.
The -s -a -s are required for any silent installs now.
e.g. : setup.exe -s -a -s /v"SETMULTIUSER=1 PROGDIR=\\"%s\\" /qn"
The first -s silences the Package For the Web wrapper UI
The -a passes all following command line options to the embedded package
The second -s silences the embedded package's extraction UI
The /v passes the rest of the quoted string to the msiexec engine.
Install NBP at default location :
setup.exe -s -a -s /v"/qn"
Default installation directory can be changed to your preferred directory with below command
setup -s -a -s /V"PROGDIR=C:\<nondefault Path> /qn"
Note : Default Data directory path of NBP can not be changed.
Users Planning to install standard client + NBP can add below parameter to their silent installation command
setup.exe /s /v"ADDLOCAL=NotesPlugin /qn"
Upgrade
setup.exe -s -a -s "/v ALLOWNBPUPGRADE=1 /qn"
