Hello,

i am attempting to roll out a silent install of FME 2018. The documentation is very good so i use

msiexec /i fme-desktop-2018.1.2-b18590-win-x64.msi /qb INSTALLLEVEL=3 INSTALLDIR="%programfiles%\\FME" ENABLE_POST_INSTALL_TASKS=no

to run the installation.

Unfortunately i get a message/ interrupt with a file in use error (i use /qr instead /qb to view the error).

 

Is there an other switch to prevent this message?

 

Best regards, Martin

Hello @zsimnav

 

Are you able to try using the /qn option instead to show no gui. 

If 

/qn
 is specified, no GUI displays.

When /qn is specified, the installer appears to return immediately; however, the installation process continues to run in the background. When installing silently, we recommend enabling logging (see below) so you can check for errors.

Secondly, are you able to try with logging enabled? The syntax is outlined below:

/l*v <logfile>

Enables verbose logging of the installation to <logfile>.

 

 

Also, can you ensure you are running with Admin rights via CMD?

 

 

Let me know if that helps.
