RT V10 Setup - Silent Installation Options

This section explains the command-line options available for performing a silent installation of RT V10 setup.

Example Command Line:

The following example launches the RT V10 installer and passes silent installation parameters to the embedded MSI package:

"D:\App_packages\RTSetup_V10.0.0438.exe" /s /v"/qn SETUPMODERT=/IND MARKETV10VARSETTINGS=INDUST UNITSELECTEDRT=METRIC SWAPFILESIZERT=12 SWAPFILEPATHRT=\"C:\Custom SwapFile Location\" REBOOT=ReallySuppress /L*v \"C:\My Logs\RTV10_Install.log\"" /b"C:\Temp\RTV10Setup InstallCache"

The command line consists of four main parts:

1. Executable
2. Silent mode switch
3. Installation options
4. Cache location

Part 1: Executable

"D:\App_packages\RTSetup_V10.0.0438.exe"

Quotes are required because Windows file paths may contain spaces.

Part 2: Silent Mode Switch

/s

This switch runs the installer in silent mode.

Part 3: Installation Options

/v"..."

The /v switch passes all enclosed parameters directly to Windows Installer.

The following options are forwarded to the MSI package:  /qn  SETUPMODERT=/IND  MARKETV10VARSETTINGS=INDUST  UNITSELECTEDRT=METRIC  SWAPFILESIZERT=12  SWAPFILEPATHRT=\"C:\Custom SwapFile Location\"  REBOOT=ReallySuppress  /L*v \"C:\My Logs\RTV10_Install.log\"

The available options are described below.

Completely Silent Installation

/qn

This parameter is required and instructs Windows Installer to perform the installation without displaying any user interface.

Setup Mode (SETUPMODERT) The RT V10 installer supports two setup modes:  Racing (Default)  Automotive Testing

Racing Installation: SETUPMODERT=/RACE MARKETV10VARSETTINGS=RACE Automotive Testing Installation: SETUPMODERT=/IND MARKETV10VARSETTINGS=INDUST

Unit Selection (UNITSELECTEDRT) Use one of the following values to configure the default measurement system: Metric Units: UNITSELECTEDRT=METRIC Imperial Units: UNITSELECTEDRT=IMPERIAL UK Units: UNITSELECTEDRT=UKUNITS

Swap File Location (SWAPFILEPATHRT) Important:  Swap files created in a custom location are not removed during un-installation. Before installing a newer version of the RT V10 software package, you must manually delete any existing swap files from the custom location.  Specify a swap file location that is at least two directory levels below the root of the selected drive. This helps keep swap files organized and reduces the risk of accidental interference with other files stored on the drive.  Do not use the root of a drive or partition (for example, "D:\") as the swap file location. Always specify a dedicated sub-directory for swap file storage.

If RT V10 is installed on a high-speed drive such as an SSD, the default swap file location is generally sufficient. For systems using mechanical hard drives, placing the swap file on a faster storage device can improve performance. Example: SWAPFILEPATHRT=\"D:\RTV10_Related/Custom SwapFile Location\"  Quotes are recommended when specifying Windows paths and are required when the path contains spaces.  The escaped quotation marks (\") ensure that the path is passed correctly through the command line.

Swap File Size (SWAPFILESIZERT) The default swap file size is 8 GB. To specify a different size, use a value between 2 GB and 92 GB. This example creates a 12 GB swap file: SWAPFILESIZERT=12

Reboot Behaviour By default, the system automatically restarts after a silent installation. This is the recommended behavior. To suppress the automatic restart, use: REBOOT=ReallySuppress

Installation Logging (Optional) Verbose MSI logging can be enabled for troubleshooting purposes. Example: /L*v \"C:\My Logs\RTV10_Install.log\" This creates a detailed installation log at the specified location.

Part 4: Cache Location /b"C:\Temp\RTV10Setup InstallCache" The /b switch specifies the location where the installer extracts and caches the msi file. When deploying RT V10 through a centralized software deployment platform such as Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager (MECM), using a predictable cache location provides several advantages: • Simplifies troubleshooting • Makes it easier to verify that extraction completed successfully • Provides a consistent location for deployment validation

Example: Automotive Testing Installation "D:\App_packages\RTSetup_V10.0.0438.exe" /s /v"/qn SETUPMODERT=/IND MARKETV10VARSETTINGS=INDUST UNITSELECTEDRT=METRIC SWAPFILESIZERT=12 REBOOT=ReallySuppress /L*v \"C:\My Logs\RTV10_Install.log\"" /b"C:\Temp\RTV10Setup InstallCache" This example performs a silent Automotive Testing installation using Metric units, creates a 12 GB swap file, suppresses the automatic restart, generates a verbose installation log, and stores extracted installation files in a predefined cache location.
