Running an unattended installation

To run an unattended (silent) installation, use the Rumba+ FTP Client.exe file.

Syntax:

"<absolute_path>\Rumba+ FTP Client.exe>" /s /v" <unattended_msi_option>"

  1. Add /qb+ to run the installation with a limited user interface. Using this option displays a simple process bar as the installation progresses. When installation is complete, you receive a message indicating success or failure of the installation. It is recommended that you use this method.

    "<absolute_path>\Rumba+ FTP Client.exe>" /s /v" /qb+"

  2. Use /qn to run the installation with no user interface. This means the program runs in the background with no message (success or failure) displayed at the end of the installation.

    "<absolute_path>\Rumba+ FTP Client.exe>" /s /v" /qn"

  3. Add ALLUSERS=TRUE as an additional parameter to create a shared installation for all users on the same machine. For example, to use the /qb+ option and the ALLUSERS=TRUE parameter to run an unattended shared installation with a message at the end of the installation, enter:

    "<absolute_path>\Rumba+ FTP Client.exe>" /s /v" ALLUSERS=TRUE /qb+"

  4. Add NMTYPE=0 as an additional parameter to make Rumba+ FTP Client keep data in the private folder C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Micro Focus\Micro Focus Utilities\Data\FTPSessions. For example:

    "<absolute_path>\Rumba+ FTP Client.exe>" /s /v" /qn NMTYPE=0"

  5. Add NMTYPE=1 as an additional parameter to make Rumba+ FTP Client keep data in the shared folder C:\ProgramData\Micro Focus\Micro Focus Utilities\Data\FTPSessions. For example:

    "<absolute_path>\Rumba+ FTP Client.exe>" /s /v" /qn NMTYPE=1"

  6. Add NMTYPE =2 DATAFILE_FOLDER="<path_to_custom_data_folder>" as additional parameters to make Rumba+ FTP Client keep data in the custom data folder. For example:

    "<absolute_path>\Rumba+ FTP Client.exe>" /s /v" /qn NMTYPE=2 DATAFILE_FOLDER="<path_to_custom_data_folder>""

Note: When running an unattended installation, the /qb+ or /qn options must always be the last options in the command line.
