Silent Mode Installation with Pre-defined Settings

The software vSolution Link by WolfVision can be installed in silent mode and/or pre-defined settings can be used. This would be helpful when it needs to install the software on a huge amount of different computers.

Silent Installation

Start the setup of the software vSolution Link by WolfVision with the command line parameter "/S" (case sensitive) to have it installed in silent mode.

Additional parameters:

/DontCreateStartmenuShortcuts

/DontCreateDesktopShortcut

These two parameters prevent the creation of any shortcut in a silent installation environment. They can also be used separately so you can have the Desktop shortcut created but not the Startmenu entries and vice versa.

The shortcuts are always created for all users (not only for the currently logged-in user).

Default folder for Desktop shortcut on Win 7/8/8.1/10: C:\Users\<yourUsername>\Desktop

Default folder for Startmenu entries on Win 7/8/8.1/10: C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Startmenu

 

In case a previous installation was existing before the silent installation started, the silent installation will have the same behavior like the repair function with the usual setup.

Provide Pre-defined Settings

To provide your own pre-defined settings without going through the setup on each computer, simply distribute the once created file to the respective computers.

To create the file, you have to go through the complete setup wizard. The software vSolution Link by WolfVision will save the configuration file automatically into the defined folder.

Default folder on Win 7/8/8.1/10:

C:\Users\<yourUsername>\AppData\Local\WolfVision_GmbH\vSolutionLink.exe_Url_<random string>\<exact version number>\user.config

The exact version number can be found at "About vSolution Link by WolfVision" in the "File" dialogue when the application is running (example of exact version number: 2.13.0.1).

The configuration file can be saved on the network, local hard disk, USB-stick, etc. to provide it as command line parameter for your other vSolution Link installations.

Add the command line parameter on startup of the application (command line parameter“-config=<PathAndFilename>”). If it’s only necessary to configure the application once, simply delete the command line parameter from the shortcut after the first startup.

Additionally, the configuration file can be exported and imported in the General Preferences dialog of the running application.

 

If you don't delete the command line parameter in the created application shortcut, the settings will always be reverted to this state when the application will be started.
