The following sections contain additional information:
In some cases, installing an application requires restarting the workstation.
In the Install Parameters dialog box, select the desired Restart option:
None (default): Uses the MSI application’s settings to determine whether or not a restart occurs. ZENworks does not force a Restart option.
Do Not Restart (/norestart): Never restarts the workstation during the install process. The installation is not completed until the next time the workstation starts.
Prompt For Restart (/promptrestart): Prompts users before restarting the workstation. If users answer No, the installation is not completed until the next time they manually restart.
Always Restart (/forcerestart): Forces the workstation to restart without prompting users.
In the Install Parameters dialog box, select the desired Display options. You can choose to perform the installation with or without a user interface, whether to display a modal dialog box at the end of the install process (a modal dialog box demands a response from the user before the installation is complete), or to hide the
button so that users cannot cancel the installation.No UI (/qn): Installs the application with no user interface (silent installation).
NOTE:This is the default installation option. If you want users to be aware that ZENworks Configuration Management is installing an application to help prevent them from rebooting or calling the help desk, change the display options to
with and .You can select the options in the dialog box or you can type /i /qb-! in the field.
Full UI (/qf): Installs the application with the full user interface and a modal dialog box displayed at the end of the installation.
Reduced UI (/qr): Installs the application with a reduced user interface and a modal dialog box displayed at the end of the installation.
Basic UI (/qb): Installs the application with a basic user interface consisting of a progress bar. The following settings are available with this option:
No modal dialog at end (-): Displays a basic user interface with no modal dialog box displayed at the end of the installation.
Modal dialog at end (+): Displays a basic user interface with a modal dialog box displayed at the end of the installation.
Hide Cancel button (!): Displays a basic user interface without a
button, so the user cannot cancel the installation process.In the Install Parameters dialog box, select the desired Install options:
Install (/i): Installs the application.
Administrative Install (/a): Creates an administrative installation point for the application. This option is useful for a network installation.
For All Users (/im): Advertises the application on the computer and installs the application for all users on first use.
For Logged In User Only (/iu): Advertises the application on the computer for the logged-in (current) user and installs the application on first use. Do not use this option when performing a System installation or when using a dynamic administrator to install the application.
A dynamic administrator is an administrator account that is created on the fly to perform certain procedures, such as installing applications. Using a dynamic administrator is helpful when installing applications (some MSI applications, for example) that cannot be installed in the system space. When you select this action, the dynamic administrator is created, it performs the required tasks, and then the account is deleted.
Displays the install command line parameters used during the application’s installation. As you select Restart, Display, and Install options, the command line parameters in this field are automatically populated.
