Problem:

How to install TIBCO Spotfire Analyst/Desktop in a different drive for 7.12 and higher versions


Solution:


This article describes how you can install a Spotfire Analyst/Desktop in a different drive. This is done using a .msi file (which needs to be extracted first from the installer). This is applicable for both single-user and shared-computer installers. Follow the below-mentioned steps:

1. Extract the .msi file (ts-setup.msi) of the installer using the following knowledge base article. Copy that file to a particular location as mentioned in the article.

2. Open the command prompt and route to the directory where the ts-setup.msi file is pasted.

3. Run the .msi file using a command such as the following: 

msiexec /qb /i "ts-setup.msi" SETUPEXEDIR="%TEMP%" ALLUSERS=1 SERVERURL=YourSpotfireServerURL INSTALLDIR="D:\Spotfire\"


About Parameters:
  • SERVERURL - This specifies the standard server that Spotfire will have defined when opening the Spotfire Analyst the first time.
  • ALLUSERS - If this is not set or if it is set to 0, then the program shortcuts will only be created for the account running the Installer.
  • INSTALLDIR - Specify the path where you want to install the program.
  • If you do not want the users to see a progress bar during the installation, then change 'qb' to 'qn'.
  • The SETUPEXEDIR parameter needs to be specified for the .msi package to work correctly. It does not need to point specifically to “%TEMP%”, just where the installation account has write access to.
  • While installing Desktop, remove the  'SERVERURL'  parameter.
  • When installing a single-user installer, remove the 'ALLUSERS' parameter.


NOTE:

For Spotfire 7.11 and lower versions, follow the below-mentioned article to have Spotfire Analyst/Desktop installed in a different drive.
