Silent Installation
Silent (or quiet) installation installs Cadcorp SIS Desktop in the background without any indication of installation progress.
To begin a silent installation enter this line in your command prompt:
SIS-9.0.xxxx.exe /s /v"/qn
Additional command line property/value pairs must follow '/qn' in the above example. Here are some available properties you can use:
- LICENCE_MODEL: Licensing model, default value is “Standalone”.
Possible values: “Standalone” or “Network” - LIC_FILE_PATH: Path to the licence file (compulsory if using the standalone licensing model)
Example:LIC_FILE_PATH=\"[PathToLicenceFile]cadcorp.lservrc.1000\"
The following three properties are valid only if you intend to use the Network licensing model:
- LICENCE_SERVER_HOST: 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”
- For eg LICENCE_SERVER_HOST=licenceserver1 or LICENCE_SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1 (or)
- LICENCE_SERVER_HOST=10.0.0.2~10.0.0.3~no-net or LICENCE_SERVER_HOST=127.0.0.1
- LICENCE_SERVER_PORT: 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). For eg LICENCE_SERVER_PORT=3426
- LICENCE_SERVER_TIMOUT_INTERVAL: This parameter sets the time-out interval for all direct Cadcorp SIS Desktop application/licence server communication to interval seconds. When a licensed application sends a request to a licence server and there is not response, the message is resent 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).
For eg LICENCE_SERVER_TIMOUT_INTERVAL=40
By default, Cadcorp SIS Desktop will use your computer’s local settings and load the corresponding plugins, libraries and names. However you can 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 Cadcorp SIS Desktop 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 (or “features”) are available via the “ADDLOCAL” parameter that can be set to a comma-separated list of programs.
The following additional programs can be installed:
- Gazetteer: x86Gazetteer or x64Gazetteer
- Oracle Client: x86OracleClient or x64OracleClient
- OSGBTOOLS: Ordnance Survey (GB) Utilities (for loading OS Topographic, ITN, VectorMap Local and VectorMap District in spatial databases)

It is not currently possible to define whether or not Python is installed as part of a silent installation.
Please be aware Python 3.6.0 is always installed during a silent installation (unless it has already been installed previously).
FMEINSTALL: you can choose to install the Cadcorp SIS Desktop 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\"
Examples shown below are command line examples, to be run in a DOS window.
