Information

Custom and silent installation or repackaging of MODDE, SIMCA and SIMCA-online

The software listed in this article can be installed silently and with parameters controlling the installation.

Running setup.exe with parameters

To learn the full command line parameters of the setup.exe file, run setup.exe /? to get the help screen.

To install the software listed at the top of this article silently, run the setup.exe file with the following arguments:

> setup.exe /quiet LICENSESTRING=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx

where setup.exe is the name of the installation file, for instance SIMCA_17_0_2_x64_Setup.exe/MODDE_13_0_2_x64_Setup.exe and LICENSESTRING is your Activation ID.

If you wish to connect to a license server named 'licserver' on your network, the arguments are:

> setup.exe /quiet LICENSESTRING=server SERVERADDRESS=licserver.company.com:7070/fne/bin/capability

Enabling Proxy Server support during installation

Starting with MODDE 13.1 and SIMCA 18.1, you can configure proxy settings directly via the command line. Use the argument PROXYSERVER="proxy_address:port", replacing "proxy_address:port" with your proxy server's address and port, separated by a colon. Include LICENSESTRING and SERVERADDRESS as above. 

Log files for setup troubleshooting

In Windows File Explorer, navigate to the folder %temp%. After performing an installation this folder will contain log files that can be useful for troubleshooting.

For SIMCA 17 and 18

By default the installation program will install SIMCA® including Python support. To change which features to be installed, use the ADDLOCAL argument with value ‘SIMCA’, ‘Python’ or ‘ShellExt’. Separate the features you want to install with comma.

For instance, install SIMCA without Python support:

> setup.exe /quiet ADDLOCAL=SIMCA

Install SIMCA® with Python support and shell extension:
> setup.exe /quiet ADDLOCAL=Python,ShellExt

or

> setup.exe /quiet ADDLOCAL=All

For SIMCA-online

The following line installs all features, including the Web Client.

>SIMCA-online_18_0_0_226_x64_Setup -quiet ADDLOCAL=Client,Server,MonitorFeature,DemoProjectsFeature WEBLOCAL=All

Repackaging an installation in third party software

Administrators that do not want to install using the setup.exe as described above can repackage the installation in their own software as described here.

First you extract the MSI file from the setup.exe, and then integrate it in to your setup by running setup.exe on a PC to install the software manually. On that PC, open the folder %Temp% in File Explorer, and open a log file of the installation (use the date/time to find it). It contains a reference to a folder under %programdata%\Package Cache where the MSI file is located. For example C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{4df40354-50a5-4682-8127-d7fc49c412ca}. Then copy this MSI file and use it for your deployment scenarios.

If you do this you need to make sure the Visual C++ Redistributable Packages for Visual Studio 2015-2022 is already installed on your target PC. This is required, but not included in the MSI file. Latest supported Visual C++ Redistributable downloads | Microsoft Learn

The MSI file supports specifying which features to install similarly to the setup.exe installer. To learn available features of a particular MSI you can install interactively and log to a file, and then search the log file for ADDLOCAL to find feature names.
