2. Open the command prompt and route to the directory where the ts-setup.msi file is pasted.
3. Run the .msi file using a command such as the following:
msiexec /qb /i "ts-setup.msi" SETUPEXEDIR="%TEMP%" ALLUSERS=1 SERVERURL=YourSpotfireServerURL INSTALLDIR="D:\Spotfire\"
About Parameters:
- SERVERURL - This specifies the standard server that Spotfire will have defined when opening the Spotfire Analyst the first time.
- ALLUSERS - If this is not set or if it is set to 0, then the program shortcuts will only be created for the account running the Installer.
- INSTALLDIR - Specify the path where you want to install the program.
- If you do not want the users to see a progress bar during the installation, then change 'qb' to 'qn'.
- The SETUPEXEDIR parameter needs to be specified for the .msi package to work correctly. It does not need to point specifically to “%TEMP%”, just where the installation account has write access to.
- While installing Desktop, remove the 'SERVERURL' parameter.
- When installing a single-user installer, remove the 'ALLUSERS' parameter.
NOTE:
For Spotfire 7.11 and lower versions, follow the below-mentioned article to have Spotfire Analyst/Desktop installed in a different drive.
