Issue:

How to install XMDesigner silently via command line option?

Scenario:

There are instances with XMPro clients that XMDesigner needs to be distributed/installed onto user’s machines without them being disturbed by the process.

Solution:

To install XMDesigner silently via the command line option, follow the steps below:

  1. Extract the XMDesigner.exe downloaded from XMPro Documentation site. Use an archiver tool to extract, i.e. WinRAR.
  2. Upon extracting, two files will be extracted: Setup.exe and XMDesigner.msi
  3. Use the msiexec command-line as followed in the Windows command prompt to install XMDesigner silently.
msiexec/i C:\Downloaded\XMDesigner.msi/qn/L*V "C:\temp\xmdesigner_installation.log"

Option
