Spotfire: How to install Spotfire Analytics / Analyst client silently using a software distribution system

1. Open a command line as Administrator.
2. Extract the .msi file from the .exe file by running the setup-shared-computer-<version>.exe file and stopping at the first screen (the Welcome page).
   This unpacks the ts-setup.msi file in the following location: C:\ProgramData\Package Cache\{<GUID>}<version>\.
3. Copy the ts-setup.msi file to a different location on the computer, and then cancel the interactive installation that you started.
4. Replace the parameters in the following script:

   msiexec /qn /i "<FULL PATH>\ts-setup.msi" SETUPEXEDIR="<location>" ALLUSERS=1 SERVERURL=http[s]://<hostname>:[<port>]/ INSTALLDIR="<location>"

   Silent Installation Parameters:
   

   Parameter:	Description:
   FULL PATH	The full path to the ts-setup.msi file.
   SETUPEXEDIR	Must be specified for the .msi package to work correctly. The location from which the install script will be run. It can be any directory to which the installation account has write access, for example, "%TEMP%".
   SERVERURL	The server to which Spotfire Analyst will connect the first time that the client is started.
   INSTALLDIR	The installation directory for Spotfire Analyst. If not specified, the program will be installed in the standard %programfiles% folder.

   Note: To see a progress bar during the installation, change "qn" to "qb".
5. Run the script.

msiexec /qn /i "C:\Desktop\ts-setup.msi" SETUPEXEDIR="%TEMP%" ALLUSERS=1 SERVERURL=https://spotfireserver.exa
