Silentmode

With this hsbSetup implementation, you can run an automatic setup.To run it in automatic mode, you must create an AutoSetupInfo.json file.

TheAutoSetupInfo.json file includes some fields to edit that are marked in orange.

• InstallationDirectoryPath: Program location
• InstallCompanyDirectory: set to false if you have an already existing hsbCompany folder; true will generate a new one
• CompanyDirectoryPath: hsbCompany folder location
• InstallComponents: true will install hsbComponents
• ComponentNamesToInstallSeparatedByComma: defines the hsbComponents to install
• Region: set name of region and language

These settings are used for the automatic installation. Some settings are relevant for hsbDesign for ACA, others are relevant for hsbDesign for Revit, others for hsbComponents, and others are for all the products. You must configure the relevant settings for each case.

The installation in silent mode must be done from the command line or from any system that triggers the auto-extract setup file automatically.

BLOCK_WARNING_START

You must run the 'Command Line' as Administrator to avoid the requirement toelevate permissions.

BLOCK_END

When you trigger the installation in silent mode, the hsbSetup will write an event to the Event Viewer with the result of the installation.

It gives the possibility to verify visually if the installation runs fine. Also, the hsbSetup returns an exit code of 0 if the installation is successful or another exit code if it fails. The exit code is helpful for automatic processes.

A scheduled task can be created to run the installation in Automatic mode.
