Question

I am trying to figure out what command line switches are available in the viewer installation files.  I want to be able to script a routine to update the official viewer on computers in a school lab environment where the computers are normally "frozen" using Deep Freeze.  The process will run at night unattended.

Thanks!

Close! These command line parameters are for running the viewer after it is installed. These are very helpful for specifying the experience after logging in. I need the options for installing the viewer in the first place.

 

Thanks Storm for responding!

Again, my assumption is MS OS.

I'm sure there is a tool in MS that will allow you to have a console window open so you can see what is being executed as you download a viewer to a client machine.  You should be able to 'capture' the switches on the executables - use this data as a basis for your new scripts.

I'm not sure about what a console would be able to provide. Granted I am not familiar with using one either. :) As I understand it, it would show what is happening as the EXE triggers events. Would it show the processes that check to see if there is a switch in force on the command line?

 

I'm sure there HAS to documentation somewhere. I think that if you have the new viewer configured to auto-update, it is just launching the install process using a silent install switch (I saw it flash by in a command window).

 

I'll keep looking... Maybe I'll ask on twitter too.
