To start the unattended install:

  1. The PrizmDocClient.exe can be used to launch the installer and specify the above parameters in silent mode. Open a command line prompt as an Administrator, change to the folder where the .exe is located, and run the following (note that the values shown below for ServiceUser and ServicePassword are examples, and you will need to change them to specify your ServiceUser and ServicePassword):
     
    Copy Code
    > PrizmDocClient.exe ServiceUser=accusoft.com\PrizmUser ServicePassword=pdpassword -s -l output.log
    

The -s flag is required to trigger silent mode and prevent the UI from opening. Leaving this out will open the UI.

The -l output.log flag is optional. If specified, it will output a log of the entire install process to a file using the specified name for the filename. For a complete install, this will output 4 files. If the install fails, include these files in bug reports.

  1. You may wish to run this with the start command to wait for completion, otherwise the install will start in the background and on a console or script, it will return immediately.
     
    Copy Code
    > start /wait PrizmDocClient.exe ServiceUser=accusoft.com\PrizmUser ServicePassword=pdpassword -s -l output.log
    
  1.    
  2. PrizmDoc should now be installed and started.

Unattended Uninstall

You can use the -u flag as shown below to silently uninstall PrizmDoc on Windows:

Copy Code
> PrizmDocClient.exe -s -u -l output.log
