This section describes installing Desktop Host silently and optionally specifying the location of the custom config.json file during installation.
Note: If you are upgrading Desktop Host, it is recommended that you uninstall the older version and then perform a silent installation. See Uninstalling Silently from the Command Line on page 8 for complete information.

This procedure installs the application to the default installation location at C:\Program Files\Hyland\DesktopHost.

If you are running the installer silently from the command line you must use the /silent switch. The /silent switch specifies the quiet mode and is required to suppress the GUI.

Caution: Ensure that you use the 32-bit and 64-bit installers to install the application on 32-bit and 64-bit computers, respectively.

To install Hyland Desktop Host silently:

  1. Launch a command prompt with elevated privileges.
  2. Navigate to the directory on your computer where the Desktop Host installer is located.
  3. Enter the complete name of the installer executable (HylandDesktopHostSetup.x86.exe or HylandDesktopHostSetup.x64.exe) within double quotes, followed by a space.

    For example:

    "HylandDesktopHostSetup.x64.exe"

  4. To specify the location of the custom config.json file, enter DH_CUSTOM_CONFIG_PATH="[path]" where [path] is the full path to the custom config.json file. The path must be a full absolute path (including the file name), within double quotes, and followed by a space.

    For example:

    "HylandDesktopHostSetup.x64.exe"

    DH_CUSTOM_CONFIG_PATH="C:\DesktopHostInstaller\bin\config.json"

    Note: If you specify the DH_CUSTOM_CONFIG_PATH parameter, the config.json file in the installation directory is overwritten. You can also skip this step and provide the configuration settings after installation is complete.
  5. Enter /silent and press Enter to execute the command.

    For example:

    "HylandDesktopHostSetup.x64.exe"

    DH_CUSTOM_CONFIG_PATH="C:\DesktopHostInstaller\bin\config.json" /silent
