Description

Installing Statistica and trying  to automate deployment via MS Software Center and/or SCCM.  Would like to stop receiving emails for each of the deployments.  Is this possible?  

Cause: DBR (Domain-based registration) installs are designed so validation emails are sent and verified during the installation.  No workaround for this is available as this is how these installations are designed.  

Issue/Introduction

Silent installation for domain-based registration do not work as the validation email must be sent and acknowledged by the user installing.

Environment

Windows operating systems only.

Resolution

No resolution to this as DBR are designed a certain way and no workaround is available because validation emails are compulsory for domian-based registrations (DBR).

General Information about DBRs:

  •  We officially support only the silent install properties listed in our silent install instructions.  If other properties are defined,there is risk of breaking the logic.
  •  Defining the COMPUTER_NAME_FQDN and COMPUTERNAMEFULL properties isn’t necessary. The installer will set them.

 

DBR Desktop:

  •  DBR desktop installs don’t support silent installation.
  •  DBR desktop installs require registration during the install on each install.
  •  Each install has its own license file.

 

DBR Concurrent (also known as Named User):

  •  This is a server-client setup.The server acts as the central licensing server (has the real license file). And, all workstations will point to this machine.
  •  The registration is done only during the server install.
  •  The server install does not support silent installation.
  •  Workstation installs are performed on the client machines. You run setup.exe out of the “Workstation Installer 64” (or the "Workstation Installer 32")  folder on the server (must share the parent folder or the Statistica application folder).
  •  The workstation installs support silent installs. There are only one or two properties to define here.
  •  For workstations, the number of installs is not tracked. 

So only workstation/client installs can use the silent install command for DBR-type installs.  Below are the commands to use:

IMPORTANT NOTE:  Using the Setup.exe will install all required pre-requisites so this is highly recommended over using the MSI.  

The Workstation silent installer excludes user registration and key information, which are part of the server install.

You can map a drive to the \Statistica 13\ folder on the server:
msiexec /i "D:\Workstation Installer 64\Statistica 13.3.721.1 64-bit.msi" /qn
or
“D:\Workstation Installer 64\setup.exe” /s /v“/qn”
 
The MSI listed here is for V13.3.1 and other version will have a different MSI.  

Alternatively, you can use the UNC path to the \Statistica 13\Workstation Installer 64\ folder on the server:
msiexec /i " \\ServerName\Statistica 13\Workstation Installer 64\Statistica 13.3.721.1 64-bit.msi" /qn
or
“\\ServerName\Statistica 13\Workstation Installer 64\setup.exe” /s /v“/qn”

Note that you cannot map a drive directly to the Workstation Installer 32/ 64 directory.
