There is the silent installation option available for QPR UI, in which the installation is done in command line instead of the installation wizard. Silent installation allows to fully automate QPR UI installation.

Silent installation command

Silent installation command has the following syntax: 

[InstallerExePath] /s /v"/qn /Lv \"[InstallerLogFilePath]\" parametername1=parametervalue1 parametername2=parametervalue2 parametername3=parametervalue3"

Number of parameters is not restricted.

Silent installation procedure

  1. Download QPR UI installation package (link is available in this wiki's mainpage).
  2. Store the installation package to C:\temp\ (this is an example location; you may stored it to different location).
  3. Construct your silent installation command by using the example command below and list of available parameters.
  4. Test the silent installation command by opening command line (open Windows Start Menu and type cmd). Paste the command to the command line and press enter.
  5. Check that QPR UI has been installed correctly. Check also the installation log file for errors.
