Automating the install on Windows
Previous  Top 


It is possible to automate the installation of Kiwi Log Viewer on Windows systems by using the /S (silent) command line switch.

To silently install Kiwi Log Viewer into the default install folder use the following command line...

Kiwi_LogViewer_X.X.X_Win32.setup.exe /S

This will install Kiwi Log Viewer into the
"C:\Program Files\Kiwi Log Viewer" folder.


To silently install Kiwi Log Viewer into a different folder use the following command line...

Kiwi_LogViewer_X.X.X_Win32.setup.exe /S /D=C:\Program Files\YourFolder

This will install Kiwi Log Viewer into the
"C:\Program Files\YourFolder" folder.

As with a regular install, all the Start Menu, Desktop shortcuts and help files are also installed as well.

Normally, the installer will add start menu and desktop shortcuts for the current user. To have the start menu and desktop shortcuts applied to all users on the system, use the /ALLUSERS switch.

e.g: Kiwi_LogViewer_X.X.X_Win32.setup.exe /ALLUSERS /S

Note:
The license information is stored in a central folder that is available to all users of the Windows system.
C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\KiwiLogFileViewer.ini

If you have a site license and want to install the licensed product on many machines, you can copy this license file onto each machine.

All other settings are stored in a location specific to the current user. See Other settings for more information.
