How do I perform a silent install?

 

  1. Download the latest version of Mekorma from the Mekorma website (www.mekorma.com)
  2. Rename the executable (.exe) file without any spaces. For example, MICR2018B78.exe
  3. Save the executable to a location of access (for example, C:/Mekorma Installer).
  4. Go to Start > Run, type in CMD. Right-click to launch the Command Prompt as Administrator.
  5. Type in CD C:\<executable folder> to direct to executable folder specified in step #3  
  6. Run executable file by typing the command

<MICR installer file name>.exe /s DYNINSTSELECT="<instance name> - Folder: <your GP folder>\" OPENRELEASENOTE=FALSE

For example: MICR2018B78.exe /s DYNINSTSELECT="Default - Folder:  C:\Program Files (x86)\GreatPlains\GP2018\" OPENRELEASENOTE=FALSE

  1. After you typed in the command, the Mekorma MICR installer runs in silent mode and installs Mekorma MICR to the location specified in the command line from the previous step.
  2. If you are installing in Mekorma build x80 or greater, the only thing you will see is the opening and closing of the PowerShell window.

PLEASE NOTE:

    1. DYNINSTSELECT (instance name) ) – The GP instance name can be found in regedit with the following path:

        Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Business Solutions\Great Plains\[ex.v14.0]\1033\Instance Names

    2. " - Folder:" is a reserved word, indicating that what follows is the root folder of Microsoft Dynamics GP

    3. To prevent the release notes from launching, perform the following: OPENRELEASENOTE switch = FALSE

    4. The silent installer is only applicable to B160 or later.

    5. This process should work on all versions of Windows beginning with Windows 7.
