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