RemoteScan silent installation configuration is useful for creating .msi files for deploying RemoteScan onto several workstations or installing RemoteScan via a scripted install.
Installing RemoteScan silently involves running the installer from a command prompt or batch file. The basic command looks like this:
RemoteScanEnterpriseASP.exe /s server "install path" [update_citrix_client] [start_server] [hide_program_group] [as_service] [update_scansnap]
Where the arguments are defined as follows:
RemoteScanEnterpriseASP.exe - The name of the installer, keep in mind that this may be slightly different depending on the version of RemoteScan that you have purchased.
/s - A flag that tells the installer to run in "silent" mode with no user interface
server - Indicates which RemoteScan component to install. The "server" is the component to install on the local workstation.
"install path" - This is the path to install RemoteScan to. Typically "C:\Program Files (x86)\RemoteScan Server".
update_citrix_client - A 'Y' or 'N' flag indicating whether to update the Citrix ICA client. Only put a Y here if you are using RemoteScan with Citrix.
start_server - A 'Y' or 'N' flag indicating if you would like the RemoteScan Server component to run after installation is complete. Normally, you will want to put a Y here.
hide_program_group - A 'Y' or 'N' flag indicating whether to hide the RemoteScan program group. Normally set to 'N'.
as_service - A 'Y' or 'N' flag indicating whether to install and run the RemoteScan Server as a service. For Terminal Services and Citrix, we strongly discourage running RemoteScan as a service and suggest using a 'N' here.
update_scansnap - A 'Y' or 'N' flag indicating whether to update for ScanSnap. Only put a Y here if you are using RemoteScan with ScanSnap Manager or Home and ScanSnap Manager or Home is already installed.
What is the argument for silently installing this on the actual terminal server - specifically in a VMware Horizon environment? Can you give an example command?
The RemoteScan silent installer is only used to install the RemoteScan server software onto the local desktops. For installing onto a VMware environment, please see Installing RemoteScan onto VMware.
When I try running the command bellow, installation seem to go but it gets stock in (SUF60Runtime (32 bit) )not responding).
Here is the command I am using:
RemoteScanUniversalASPNew.exe" /s server update_citrix_client Y "Install Path" "C:\Program Files (x86)\RemoteScan Server" Start_Server Y hide_program_group N as_service N Update_scansnap n
Let me know what I am missing please.
Hi Pedro,
For this example, I would suggest trying the following command:
RemoteScanUniversalASPNew.exe /s server "C:\Program Files (x86)\RemoteScan Server" Y Y N N N
