Installation

The Projector Patrol setup program can be invoked with several command line switches that allow Projector Patrol to be installed without any user interaction. This can be useful to system administrators who need to use administrative scripts to deploy Projector Patrol to a large number of computers on a network.

The available command line switches are:

The /SILENT command line switch is used to execute the Projector Patrol setup while suppressing all user interaction dialogs. An on-screen progress display will be shown.

Note: Projector Patrol Sentry will not be launched at the conclusion of the setup if the /SILENT command line switch is used.

The /VERYSILENT command line switch is used to execute the Projector Patrol setup while suppressing all user interaction dialogs and the on-screen progress display will not be shown.

Note: Projector Patrol Sentry will not be launched at the conclusion of the setup if the /VERYSILENT command line switch is used.

The /TYPE command line switch is used to specify the type of installation you want to perform. The available types are:

/TYPE="typFull" (Perform a full Projector Patrol Installation)
/TYPE="typCustom" (Perform a custom Projector Patrol Installation)

The /COMPONENTS command line switch is used to specify the specific Projector Patrol components you want to install. The available components are:

/COMPONENTS="cmpCommander" (Install Projector Patrol Commander Desktop remote control)
/COMPONENTS="cmpSentry" (Install Projector Patrol Sentry System-Tray timer service)

Note: The /COMPONENTS command line switch is only valid if /TYPE="typCustom"

The /TASKS command line switch is used to specify additional setup tasks you want to perform. The available tasks are:

/TASKS="tskCreateCommanderDesktopIcon" (Create a desktop icon for the Commander application)
/TASKS="tskCreateCommanderQuickLaunchIcon" (Create a quick launch icon for the Commander application)
/TASKS="tskCreateCommanderCommonStartupIcon" (Create a icon in the Common Startup menu for the Commander application)
/TASKS="" (Don't execute any additional tasks, even the defaults tasks)

Examples:

"Projector Patrol Setup.exe" /SILENT

This executes a "Silent" install which requires no user interaction but provides on-screen progress display and accepts all of the installation defaults.

"Projector Patrol Setup.exe" /VERYSILENT

This executes a "Very Silent" install which requires no user interaction, suppresses the on-screen progress display and accepts all of the installation defaults.

"Projector Patrol Setup.exe" /SILENT /TYPE="typCustom" /COMPONENTS="cmpCommander" /TASKS="tskCreateCommanderDesktopIcon,tskCreateCommanderCommonStartupIcon"

This executes a "Silent" install which requires no user interaction, suppresses the on-screen progress display, selects a custom installation which installs only the Commander application and creates a desktop icon and a startup icon for the Commander application.
