Silent client installation

You can use a command line to silently install/upgrade or modify/reinstall the client features. On the client, use the following syntax:

Setup_DE_11.0.44.xxx.exe /s /v"INSTALLDIR=\"[path]\"" /z"-mode:Modify -installdirWritable:[path] -clinicID:[ID] -customCode:[code] -optionalSoftware:[options]"


Explanation:

INSTALLDIR – If this parameter is included, its value is the path to the program files for Dentrix Enterprise, and the path is enclosed in quotation marks that are escaped with back slashes (\"). If this parameter is omitted, the program files will be installed in the default location (C:\Program Files (x86)\DXONE).

Example: /v"INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files (x86)\DXONE\""

-mode – Omit this parameter to install/upgrade the client features. Include this parameter to modify/reinstall the client features. If this parameter is included, its value must be Modify.

Example: -mode:Modify

-installdirWritable – If this parameter is included, its value is the path to a writeable folder (a folder that allows access for writing and updating files; will contain the "Docs," "Eclaims," and "Data" folders). If this parameter is omitted, the default location will be used (C:\DXONE). All Windows users on the computer must have full (read and write) access to the specified folder. If you have not already done so, you can share this folder with the required permissions after the installation is complete.

Example: -installdirWritable:C:\DXONE

-clinicID – This parameter value must be the ID of the default clinic.

Example: -clinicID:CENTRAL

-customCode – This parameter maybe omitted. If this parameter is included, its value must consist of the applicable custom codes, each of which must be preceded by a pound sign (#), and end with a pound sign (#).

Example: -customCode:#MIPACS#IHS#

-optionalSoftware – This parameter may be omitted. If this parameter is included, its value may consist of any of the following options separated by a comma:

lmaddin – Include this option to install/reinstall the letter merge add-in for Microsoft Word.

reportscheduling – Include this option to install/reinstall the report scheduling service.

Example: -optionalSoftware:lmaddin,reportscheduling

Note: The default location of the shortcut folder will be used (C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\DXONE), and the shortcuts in it will be available to all users.
