The Simplify Suite install is in windows installer format, allowing for silent installations and deployment through Active Directory. Silent install is initialized using the /q switch with msiexec.exe, and then passing in values for properties. The command line syntax to set a property is PROPERTY=VALUE. Valid properties include: INSTALLDIR SQLSERVERNAME SQLTRUSTED SQLUSERNAME SQLPASSWORD Below is an example of correct syntax to begin a silent installation of Simplify Suite. msiexec /i simplify.msi /q SQLSERVERNAME=SQLSVR SQLTRUSTED=no SQLUSERNAME=sa SQLPASSWORD=sapwd SQLUSERNAME and SQLPASSWORD are only necessary when SQLTRUSTED=no. If SQLTRUSTED=yes, then the install ignores the SQL username and password. A silent installation cannot be performed using the install bundled with the MSDE (SimplifyMSDE.exe). Instead, the (Simplify.msi) will is required. Additionally, a silent install cannot perform database operations such as creating a new database. A simplify database must already exist for the silent install to work.
