ScaleOut StateServer(r) Instructions for Unattended Setup Installation can be run in "quiet mode" with no user interaction by running msiexec.exe from the command line with the /quiet switch. To install the 32-bit version of ScaleOut StateServer, run the following command: msiexec.exe /i soss_setup32.msi /quiet To install the x64 version of ScaleOut StateServer, run the following command: msiexec.exe /i soss_setup64.msi /quiet When running an unattended installation on Windows Server 2008/2012 or Windows 7/8 with UAC enabled, you must run the setup using the Administrator account. (It is not sufficient for your user to be part of the Administrators group if UAC is enabled.) After installation, a pre-configured soss_params.txt file should be copied over the unconfigured one in the StateServer installation directory. Restart the ScaleOut StateServer service ("soss.exe restart") for the new host configuration settings to take effect. By default, this command line will install the ScaleOut StateServer service. A number of installer properties are available through the command line. To select the type of ScaleOut installation to perform, use the INSTALLTYPE property, where: INSTALLTYPE=1 installs the full ScaleOut StateServer service (default) INSTALLTYPE=2 installs the remote client libraries INSTALLTYPE=3 installs the .NET libraries for development purposes only To set the directory that the product will be installed in, use the TARGETDIR property. So, for example, to perform a 32-bit remote client installation to the non-default "e:\SOSS" directory, you would run: msiexec.exe /i soss_setup32.msi /quiet INSTALLTYPE=2 TARGETDIR="e:\SOSS" Many additional properties are defined by Windows Installer.
