Silent Install
(The Silent Install feature is available for Prism 2.0 and above. It is not available for Prism 1.14.7 and earlier.)
You can install Prism in "silent" mode by creating a scheduled task that runs the install scripts from the command line. Each Prism component has its own installer; therefore, you will have to create a scheduled task for each component that you want to install. The installers are found in the "Prism_[version}\[component]" folder of the Prism setup files. The following table lists the installers.
Installer Files
| Installer File | Folder and Description |
|---|---|
| ApacheInstaller.exe | Prism_[version}\Apache has the Apache web server installer. |
| Win32PrismServerInstaller.exe | Prism_[version}\Server has the Prism Server installer. |
| Win32PrismProxyInstaller | Prism_[version}\PrismProxy has the Prism Proxy installer. |
| Win32PrismDocumentDesignerInstaller.exe | Prism_[version}\DocumentDesigner has the Document Designer installer. |
