You can use the misexec command line to install Extra!.
Use this procedure to advertise Extra! to all users of the computer. When you advertise Extra! to users, shortcuts appear on the Start menu, but Extra! is not actually installed until a user clicks a shortcut. After the application is installed, it starts automatically. This is similar to assigning an application with the Microsoft Group Policy feature.
To advertise Extra! to users
Insert the product DVD or have the eDelivery files available.
At the command prompt (or the Start > Run or Start > Search box), type the following command:
msiexec /jm path\ATMEE9x.MSI /t transforms file
where path is the complete path on the product DVD or eDelivery image (including drive letter); the x in ATMEE9x.MSI is the software version; and transforms file is a filename from the following table.

If you do not specify a transform file, the installation dialog boxes are displayed in English.
If you want to install only some of the available languages, you can edit the MSI file. For a list of languages, see the topic Command-line Options for Installing Extra!.
The system administrator can make Extra! available for installation from a network location, after which users can perform the installation by running either the appropriate MSI file or a Windows batch file that was created for that purpose.
To install Extra! from a network location
Navigate to the network location specified by the system administrator.
Do one of the following:
Double-click ATMEE9x.MSI to install it.
Choose Start > Run or Start > Search, and then enter the command:
msiexec /i path\ATMEE9x.msi
where path is the network location of the Extra! installation files and the x in ATMEE9x.MSI is the software version.
Run a batch file that has been specified by the system administrator. Batch files can contain additional command-line switches that control the behavior of the installation.
Respond to the subsequent prompts.
You can use command-line options to install Extra! from local eDelivery files, the product DVD, or from a network location specified by the system administrator. A system administrator can include command-line options in a batch file to preset installation parameters and limit user interaction while Extra! is installing, or provide an unattended installation by suppressing installation dialog boxes entirely.
For more information about using Microsoft Windows Installer command-line options for customizing installations, visit the Microsoft website.
To install Extra! from the command line
Insert the product DVD or locate the appropriate files locally or on the network as specified by the system administrator.
At the command prompt (or the Start > Run or Start > Search box), type the following command:
msiexec /i path\filename
where path is the complete path to the appropriate MSI file, and filename is one of the following MSI files:
|
This MSI file |
Installs |
|---|---|
|
ATMEE9 x .MSI |
Extra! |
You can further customize your installation with additional command-line switches and MSI properties. For example, to perform a silent install, you could enter the following:
msiexec /i path\filename /qn
where path is the complete path to the appropriate MSI file, and filename is the MSI for the component you want to install.
Software licenses cannot be displayed during a silent install. Before making Extra! available to users through a silent install, you must have first read and accepted the appropriate software license agreement.
