Silently" Installing An Upgrade Or Service Pack - Siemens SINUMERIK 810D Commissioning Manual

Installing software and network operation
3.1 Installing software and software update
The -OF call parameter lets setup know that it is running as the subsetup of a frame setup. In
this case, before setup is completed, it stores information about other measures to be carried
out by the frame setup in the result parameters of the control file, e.g.:
[RESULTS]
SetupSucceeded=1
RebootRequested=1
The frame setup is then responsible for carrying out the restart.
Note
When calling a setup with call parameter -OF from the command line, the operator is
responsible for any necessary measures to be carried out after completion, e.g., a restart.
3.1.2

"Silently" installing an upgrade or Service Pack

Valid for: PCU 50 with PCU Basesoftware WinNT 4.0 upgrade V06.02.01
Independent or self-extracting setup
The relevant control parameters in the Setup.ini control file of the Setup.exe setup are
already set per default for "silent" installation, i.e.:
[Startup]
ShowUserDlg = no:
No operator dialog boxes, such as welcome or license dialog boxes, are displayed.
ShowRebootDlg = no:
The end dialog box (Reboot yes/no) is not displayed.
Nevertheless, when these control parameters are set in this way, a dialog box appears
during the installation process to ask whether the MPI needs to be reinstalled if the same
MPI version is found. The only way to prevent this dialog box appearing is to use the
NagsAway.exe tool to poll it and acknowledge it automatically as soon as it appears.
3-2
The behavior of the setup is controlled via the OpFile.txt control file. This is contained in
the (temporary) setup directory as standard. The control parameters are set for "silent"
installation per default.
Setup only evaluates the control file when call parameter -OF is entered when the file is
called, e.g., Setup.exe -OF:.\OpFile.txt. In this case, the control file can be stored in any
directory.
Note
There must not be any blank between -OF: and .\OpFile.txt.
