Introduction
This guide provides a reference for usage of the Enterprise MSI public properties. The Audience for this
document includes integrators who wish to package and deploy Blazon Enterprise server components
with their products.

A server MSI package is available for integrators who wish to package and deploy the Blazon Enterprise
Server with their products.

BlazonEnterprise.msi : This MSI package provides a mechanism for the Enterprise server components to
be bundled with other applications and distributed for multiple user installations.

Some use cases for integrators might include:

• Installing components on appliances and Virtual Machines, including remote upgrades on

customer sites

• Bundling with products to be offered via hosting/SAAS/ASP or on the customer’s premises

• With Cloud computing where an MSI can be utilized if prepared VM images are too large and
not practical to move due to size and transfer speed limitations for import/export over the
internet

Deploying the MSI package as a silent install allows administrators to pass command line parameters to
install custom actions. This document details the public properties that are available for custom
adjustment with the server MSI installation packages, as well as some examples of installations using
MSIEXEC. The same properties can be used in an MST file if you prefer this method.
MSI Install Recommendations

The following recommendations are provided for installing the server components.

A. Requirements

Differences exist between the Web.exe packages that are created for the products and the MSI packages.
Several required items are not included in the component MSI packages that you may need to address,
depending on your integration.

The component MSI packages do not include the following elements that are required for running Blazon
Enterprise with your integration:

• Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)

• Microsoft C++ runtime libraries are included in the MSI, excluding the following which may be
required: VC 2005 SP1 8.00.50727.5592
• .NET Framework 4.5.2 Full package

B. UAC

If User Account Control (UAC) is enabled, you must execute the .msi package from an elevated
command prompt. Otherwise, certain functions of the installer may be blocked resulting in an incomplete
installation.

C. Service not Uninstalled

It is recommended that you don’t change the “Internal Name” values for our Services. Changes could
cause the incomplete uninstall of the services. See the services properties in this document:

While you may change the DISPLAYNAME and DESCRIPTION values, do not change the following:

[IGC_SERVICE_NAME]
[IGC_LIC_SERVICE_NAME]
Command Line Usage Notes
Note: the examples below include verbose logging for a silent installation. /L*V is the logging switch and
/QN specifies no UI.

MSI Command Line

Example:
msiexec /I "C:\Users\username\Desktop\Blazon Enterprise.msi" /QN /L*V
"C:\InstallerLogs\Blazon Enterprise.txt" INSTALLJP=1 INSTALLQS=1
INSTALLENHDIRMON=1 ENHSHAREDIR="C:\EnhShare"
IS_NET_API_LOGON_USERNAME="OpenText\user"
IS_NET_API_LOGON_PASSWORD=mypassword

.msi PowerShell Example:

Start-Process -FilePath msiexec.exe -ArgumentList "/I
`"C:\Users\username\Desktop\setup.msi`" /QN /L*V
`"C:\InstallerLogs\InstallerLogName.txt`" PROPERTYNAME=value
PROPERTYNAME=value SOMEPATHPROPERTY=`"C:\Program Files (x86)\Some\Path`"
PROPERTYNAME=value"

Where:

Msiexec is the executable that runs the msi

/qn - tells it to run silently

/i _path_to_install_ - tells msiexec which install to run

PROPERTYNAME1=”value1” PROPERTYNAME2=”value2”… - sets values for the MSI to use

during the install. If the install is not silent (no /q switch), these values will just be pre-populated if
you add them on the command line.

Setup.exe Command Line

Example:
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\setup.exe"
/v"PROPERTYNAME=Value PROPERTYNAME=Value SOMEPATHPROPERTY=\"C:\Program Files
(x86)\Some\Path\" /l*v \"C:\InstallerLogs\InstallerLogName.txt\""
When running the command from Powershell, you need to escape any quotes within the long string of
params using the ` character. The existing \ escapes for the command prompt need to remain for exe

package to pass to the embedded MSI.

It will look like this:

PROPERTY=\`"Value with spaces\`"

To manually force the install to cache the install media locally, use the /b switch (See Installshield
documentation
http://helpnet.installshield.com/installshield21helplib/installshield21helplib.htm#StartTopic=helplibrary/I
HelpSetup_EXECmdLine.htm):
"C:\Users\username\Desktop\setup.exe" /b"C:\CacheDirectory"

For the executable install, the equivalent command line would be:
Setup.exe /v"INSTALLDIR="c:\Installation Directory"

Boolean values (true/false) can be entered as 1 or 0 with 1 representing true and 0 representing false:
BOOLPROPERTY=1
Installation Tips
• Always execute msiexec.exe from an elevated command prompt or application running with
elevated rights.

• If the log file does not exist, setup will create it. However, it will not create any folders. In the
example above, you will need to first create the folder "InstallerLogs" or change to a folder that
already exists. If you provide a logfile name without a folder path, the log file will be created in
the working directory of your command prompt.

• If installing features on different machines, be sure to specify the features you don't want in
addition to the ones that you do want. If a feature is set to be selected by default and you don't
set it to 0 on the command line, it will still get installed. Check the product-specific
documentation for default values.
