Installation procedures and command-line parameters
System Update and Update Retriever can use the same command line parameters for installation. The
following example starts a non-silent command line installation for System Update or Update Retriever.
c:\>[System Update installation file name].exe
To do a silent command line extraction followed by an installation, use the /VERYSIELNT parameter. The
extract defaults to the Windows Temp folder, for example:
c:\>[System Update installation file name].exe/VERYSILENT /NORESTART
To silently extract to a specific folder followed by an installation, use the DIR parameter, for example:
[System Update installation file name].exe/VERYSILENT /NORESTART/DIR="C:\TVT\tvsut"
The /DIR parameter causes the files to be extracted to the c:\tvt\tvsut folder.
You can use the -e parameter to extract the contents of the installation file. If you want the Update Retriever
installation file to start the executable, specify the file name after the –e parameter, for example:
-e[Update Retriever installation file name]
The following table provides examples where the file name is not specified.

List of parameters
The application is packaged as a self-extracting installation file. Therefore, the Update Retriever installation
file specifies the executable to start after the extraction. If you use the -a parameter, then any parameter
following the -a will be passed to the installation file executable, and then prompts the execution to start
after the extraction, for example:
c:\>[Update Retriever installation file name].exe –s –fc:\tvt\tvsut –a
[list of parameters]
The following table provides the parameters used with the -a parameter.
