Appendix D. AutoPilot Installer Command Line and Configuration File Parameters

AutoPilot Installer Syntax

730

ReportLocation (Setting Up an Installation Report Title and
Location)

The automatically generated file name for this report is

"report_mm-dd-yy.txt"

where ‘mm’ is the month number, ‘dd’ is the day, and ‘yy’ indicates the year.
You can change only the installation report folder; the file name is auto-generated. In

the following example x could be any available drive:

ReportLocation = "x:\autopilot\reports\installs\"

SilentInstallEnable (Enabling Unattended Installation)

Note: Setting the SilentInstallEnable parameter to true in the configuration file is

functionally equivalent to supplying the “/silent” switch on the command line.

You cannot specify the SilentInstallEnable parameter on the command line.

Default: False
Setting this parameter to true causes AutoPilot Installer to operate with no user

interaction.

SilentRebootEnable (Enabling Silent Reboot)

Default: False
AutoPilot Installer's default behavior in unattended installations is not to restart the

system. AutoPilot Installer continues with the installation. Restarts often require you to

log in as part of the Windows start up process. If there is no login, the installation

process would hang if the system is restarted. However, Windows can be configured to

start up without requiring you to log in. You must make sure it is safe to restart the

system during unattended installations if you are going to set this parameter to true.

InstallWithoutQFE (Enabling Installation if a QFE Check Fails)

Default: False
AutoPilot Installer checks for Microsoft’s QFEs, also known as KB (Knowledge Base)

updates, based on the checks you have specified in the [STORPORT.QFES] section. By

default, the installation terminates if the QFE check fails. To enable a driver installation

to proceed even if a check for QFEs fails, set this parameter to true.
