Installing a product by using the single MSI or enterprise set up
Prerequisites
When installing MSI in silent mode (enterprise deployment), ensure that Microsoft .NET version 3.5 SP 1 is installed on the target systems, otherwise the silent MSI installation will abort.
Installing a major upgrade with the single MSI setup
For MSI, you need to pass a command line option "SILENTINST" and the value "1" needs to be
set for it. At the command line
msiexec /i "product.msi" /qb SILENTINST=1
Installing a minor product update by using the single MSI setup
If you install an update to an existing product installation, you must do so from the command line.
- At the command line, set reinstall=all.
- Set the command reinstallmode=vomus. In all but the most advanced scenarios, the command reinstallmode should be set to vomus. The following is an example of a typical command line for setup:
msiexec.exe /i \product.msi reinstallmode=vomus reinstall=all
Installing a minor product update by using the single MSI setup
If you install an update to an existing product installation, you must do so from the command line.
- At the command line, set reinstall=all.
- Set the command reinstallmode=vomus. In all but the most advanced scenarios, the command reinstallmode should be set to vomus. The following is an example of a typical command line for setup:
msiexec.exe /i \product.msi reinstallmode=vomus reinstall=all
NOTE: It is critical that you use the command line installation only when a previous version of the product already exists on the target computer. If you set the properties when the product does not already exist on the computer, the installation appears to run in minor upgrade mode, but your application files may not be installed.
Installing a major release from the command line
For a new installation where a previous version does not exist, do not set reinstall=all.

- Complete. Select Complete to install all available Winshuttle products, including TRANSACTION, QUERY, and DIRECT. The files are installed to the default directory, C:\Program Files\Winshuttle.
- Custom. Select Custom to install select Winshuttle products and to choose the destination directory.
Note: On upgrade or re-installation of version 10.0, new document folders (My Documents\Winshuttle) will be created with the name TRANSACTION. However, your application options will not be re-set to these new paths. If you want to use the new folders, we suggest you do that manually.
