System Update standard installation procedures and
command-line parameters
System Update and Update Retriever all use the same command line parameters
for installing the applications. 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 you use the -s
parameter. The extract defaults to the Windows Temp folder.
c:\>[System Update installation file name].exe -s
To silently extract to a specific folder followed by an installation you would do the
following:
c:\>[System Update installation file name].exe -s -fc:\tvt\tvsut
The f parameter in the -f 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 installation file to start the executable, specify the file name after the –e
parameter (-e[System Update installation file name]). For examples where the file
name is not specified, see following table:
