I followed the procedure for silent installation of FME Form 2023.2, but without succcess. Here is the command I write in the console, with Admin rights :

fme-form-2023.2-b23764-win-x64.exe -d"C:\\FME\\installer" -s -sp"/qn /norestart"

 

The fme-form Logfile which is created notes a successful installation in the end:

Product: FME Form 2023.2 (Build 23764 - win64) -- Installation completed successfully.

 

However, I cannot find the software installed... No shortcut and no program in the default C:\\Programs\\FME.

Could you explain why the installation is not finished?

Hi @Gabriel Vatin​ Please see https://docs.safe.com/fme/html/FME-Form-Documentation/FME-Form-Admin-Guide/FMEInstallation/Install_FME_Windows_Command_Prompt.htm You've done the first step which is to extract the installer to "C:\FME\installer".  Now you need to run 

msiexec /i <path_to_installer> /qb INSTALLLEVEL=3 INSTALLDIR="<installdir>" ENABLE_POST_INSTALL_TASKS=no

to finish installing FME.

If you have downloaded the installer you can run it directly from the command line with:
 

fme-form-2025.2-b25810-win-x64.exe -d"C:\FME\Form_25810" -s -sp"/qb /norestart INSTALLLEVEL=3 INSTALLDIR=""""""""C:\Program Files\FME_b25810"""""""" ENABLE_POST_INSTALL_TASKS=no"

This will, extract the installer files to C:\FME\Form_25810, and then install to C:\Program Files\FME_b25810.  Be sure to clean up the extracted files after the install is successful by removing the folder C:\FME\Form_25810

If you run into issues during installation, the install log i.e. fme-form-2025.2-b25810-win-x64.log , will be helpful for our Support Team to review to learn what might have happened. 

Be aware that you must have the correct permissions to install programs on your system… this may involve starting the Command Line with “Run as Administrator”.
