Windows Vista considerations
With considerations for Windows Vista, the System Update silent installation
launches a User Account Control (UAC) message. You can find information on
disabling and enabling the User Account Control message on the following Web
site:
Note:
If the UAC is active, a silent uninstall will not work with Windows Vista.
List of parameters
The applications are packaged as self-extracting installation files. Therefore the
System Update 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.
c:\>[System Update installation file name].exe –s –fc:\tvt\tvsut –a

/s
This parameter is used for
silent mode. It suppresses the
initialization window defined
in the installation file to
execute after the extract.

/v
This parameter passes the
command line switches and
values of public properties to

start after the extraction when
you want to do a silent
installation. You can pass

using the command line to
execute the installation file. All
parameters within the double
quote symbols (“ “) after the
/v parameter are passed to
the MSI file.
[System Update installation file

language used by a
multi-language installation
program and requires a
decimal language ID (where
