Automating the installation of Kiwi Syslog Daemon

Previous  Top  Next

It is possible to automate the installation and startup of Kiwi Syslog Daemon without the need for any human interaction.


To install and start Kiwi Syslog Daemon as a standard interactive application you will need to create a batch file that contains the following information;

"AppPath\Kiwi_Syslogd_X.X.X.setup.exe" /S INSTALL=APP /D=InstallPath
"InstallPath\Syslogd.exe"



To install and start Kiwi Syslog Daemon as a Windows NT service you will need to create a batch file that contains the following information;

"AppPath\Kiwi_Syslogd_X.X.X.setup.exe" /S INSTALL=SERVICE /D=InstallPath
"InstallPath\Syslogd_Service.exe" -install -silent
Net Start "Kiwi Syslog Daemon"



* AppPath refers to the actual path of the installation package (Kiwi_Syslogd_X.X.X.setup.exe)
* InstallPath refers to the path that you would like to install the application in.
* Double quotes are required where shown.

For example: "C:\Program Files\Syslogd"


It is also possible to have Kiwi Syslog Daemon automatically use predefined configuration settings and have these loaded the first time that the application or service is run.

For further information relating to this please have a look at the following link;

To apply a license key via the installer, simply pass the license details as follows:

Kiwi_Syslogd_X.X.X.setup.exe REGKEY="Name|Company|E-mail|Serial|Key"

This will attempt to automatically license the software after installation is complete.
