Silent Installation

To commence a silent installation enter a command line as follows:

SIS-8.0.xxxx.exe /s /v"/qn

The setup file (SIS-8.0.xxxx.exe) can be located anywhere on the machine, i.e. on the desktop, D: drive, USB key, etc. The file can also be renamed by the user if required.

Additional command line property/value pairs must follow '/qn' in the above example.

The following list shows the available properties in capital letters, their descriptions plus value options where appropriate:

Licensing parameters:

CC_LIC_MODE: Licensing model, default value is “Standalone”.

Possible values: “Standalone” or “Network”

LIC_FILE_PATH_CMD_LINE: Path to the licence file (compulsory if using the standalone licensing model)

Example:

LIC_FILE_PATH_CMD_LINE=\"[PathToLicenceFile]cadcorp.lservrc.1000\"

The following three properties are valid only if you intend to use the Network licencing model:

CC_CMDLINE_LICSERHOST: Address of the licence server. You can also pass a list of servers using a"~" as a separator, i.e. “10.0.0.2~10.0.0.3~no-net”

Examples:

CC_CMDLINE_LICSERHOST=licenceserver1 or CC_CMDLINE_LICSERHOST=127.0.0.1

CC_CMDLINE_LICSERHOST=10.0.0.2~10.0.0.3~no-net or CC_CMDLINE_LICSERHOST=127.0.0.1

CC_CMDLINE_LICSERPORT: The port the specified licence server is listening on. You do not need this parameter if the licence server is listening on the standard port (5093).

Example:

CC_CMDLINE_LICSERPORT=3426

CC_CMDLINE_LICSERTTL: This parameter sets the time-out interval for all direct SIS application/license server communication to interval seconds. When a licensed application sends a request to a license server and the license server does not respond, it resends the message a few times. Each time, the length of the timeout interval is slightly longer than the previous. This value sets the total length of a set of attempts to be interval seconds. Only use this parameter if you wish to change the default value (30 seconds).

Example:

CC_CMDLINE_LICSERTTL=40

Product parameters (Network licence model only):

For installations using the Network licence model, each of the following parameters must be added and set to the value “checked” to enable shortcut creation.

CC_PROD_MAPEDITOR
CC_PROD_MAPMANAGER
CC_PROD_MAPMODELLER
CC_PROD_SISCONTROL

Example:

CC_PROD_MAPMODELLER=checked

Country setting:

By default, SIS will use your computer’s locale settings and load the corresponding plugins, libraries and namers. However you may choose to override this default behaviour with a particular country of your choice or even all countries by using the following parameters:

COUNTRY=1 CC_CMDLINE_COUNTRY=GBR: Force SIS to load all Great Britain related plugins, libraries and namers.
COUNTRY=2: Load all plugins, libraries and namers.

The list of available countries are:

AUS: Australia

CAN: Canada

CZE: Czech Republic

DEN: Denmark

FRA: France

DEU: Germany

GBR: Great Britain

IRL: Ireland

ITA: Italy

JPN: Japan

NLD: Netherlands

NZL: New Zealand

NOR: Norway

SWE: Sweden

CHE: Switzerland

USA: USA

Additional programs:

ADDLOCAL

Additional programs (or “features” in installation terms) are available via the “ADDLOCAL” parameter that can be set to a comma-separated list of programs. Note that if you wish to silently install additional programs, the main feature “_SIS” must be included in the command line.

The following additional programs can be installed:

Gazetteer: Cadcorp Gazetteer
Metadata_Manager: Metadata Manager
OracleInstantClient:
OSGBTOOLS: Ordnance Survey (GB) Utilities (for loading OS Topographic, ITN, VectorMap Local and VectorMap District in spatial databases)

Example:

ADDLOCAL=_SIS,Gazetteer,Metadata_Manager

User information:

User information can be set via the following parameters:

USERNAME: User Name
COMPANYNAME: Organization name

Installation location:

Use the INSTALLDIR property to specify where you would like to install SIS.

Example:

INSTALLDIR=\”C:\Program Files\Cadcorp SIS\”

Advanced shortcut parameters:

CC_CMDLINE_SWD: choose a default SIS Workspace Definition (SWD) file to load at start up.
CC_CMDLINE_PROJECT: choose a default project folder to load at start up.
CC_CMDLINE_FOLDERNAME: Choose a default Addin folder to load at startup.
CC_CMDLINE_DB: choose a default options database file (*.db) to load at startup.

Installing SIS in Python (SISpy):

You can choose to install SIS in Python (SISpy) on the target computer(s).

PYTHONINSTALL: Choose “Yes” to install SIS in your existing Python 3.2.5 installation. Choose “YesAll” to install SIS and Python 3.2.5.
FULLSELECTEDPYTHONPATH: use if PYTHONINSTALL=”Yes”. This parameter specifies the Python installation folder (typically “C:\Python32”).

Example 1:

PYTHONINSTALL=”Yes” FULLSELECTEDPYTHONPATH=\”C:\Python32\”

Example 2:

PYTHONINSTALL=”YesAll”

SIS in FME:

FMEINSTALL: you can choose to install the SIS component in your existing FME installation (FME 2014 onwards only) by setting the SIS in FME flag to true and specifying your FME root folder.

Example:

FMEINSTALL=True FMEVERSION=”\C:\apps\FME2014\”

Note: If an msiexec parameter contains a space (like some directory paths), that msiexec parameter must be surrounded with "escaped" double quotes (\").

For example:

setup.exe /s /v"/qn MYMSIPROPERTY1=yes MYMSIPROPERTY2=\"%temp%\some file name.txt\"
