Native platform launcher command line options
When you enter the following command line options with your native platform launcher, the launcher passes them to the Host On-Demand install as installation parameters. Options that suppress the GUI wizard are marked accordingly.
| Option | Purpose | Example usage |
|---|---|---|
| -console
(Suppresses the GUI wizard) |
Installs Host On-Demand in console mode. |  install.exe |
| -log #!filename
where # echoes the display to standard output and !filename is the name of the log file. If you specify ! without a file name, the default log file name is used. |
Generates an installation file log with the name specified. | hodinstallwin.exe -log #!\mydirectory\logfile |
| -options filename | Installs Host On-Demand with command line options that set specified properties for the installation. | hodinstallwin.exe -silent -options c:\mydirectory\responseFile |
| -options-record filename | Generates an options text file recording your responses to the Host On-Demand install wizard, establishing them as default values for installation variables. | hodinstallwin.exe -options-record responses.txt |
| -options-template filename | Generates an options text file containing the default installation values. | hodinstallwin.exe -options-template template.txt |
| -silent
(Suppresses the GUI wizard) |
Installs Host On-Demand in silent mode, accepting all default installation values. | hodinstallwin.exe -silent |
The following additional command line options apply only to the process of calling and running the installation program. Enter them at the command line with the native platform launcher.
| Option | Purpose | Example usage |
|---|---|---|
| -is:logfilename | Generates a log file for the native launcher's JVM searches. | hodinstallwin.exe -is:log myLogFile.txt |
| -is:silent | Prevents the display of the launcher user interface (UI) while JVM searches and other initializations are taking place. (Commonly used with the command line option silent.) | hodinstallwin.exe -is:silent |
| -is:tempdirdirectory | Sets the temporary directory used by the Host On-Demand install. | hodinstallwin.exe -is:tempdir "c:\temp" |
