It is possible to install WhereScape RED from the command line and specify a custom installation directory, using the APPDIR parameter by running a batch file.

This process can be used for all metadata database types where the exe file is configured to copy the APPDIR property into all other relevant properties.

Note

Command Line installations will only work if the relevant version has not yet been previously installed. If the same version has already been installed, it must always be removed first.

Example

The following is an example script that loads RED with full verbose logging:

@echo off
cd c:\users\user\downloads\
"RED_10100.exe" APPDIR="c:\WhereScape10100\" ALLUSERS=1 RebootYesNo="No" Reboot="Suppress" /qn+ /L*vx "c:\WhereScape\log.txt"
exit
