INSTALLING


Considerations when planning a Notes silent install or upgrade

Silent install is useful for installing, reinstalling, or upgrading Notes® on the MSI command line or as part of a script or batch file process.

You can silently install Notes and optionally the Composite Applications Editor, Feed Reader, Connections (Activities), embedded HCL Sametime® and Notes OpenSocial component. Also, for single-user installs you can silently install Domino® Designer and Domino Administrator clients. You can also silently install new or custom features that are part of your Notes install kit. As well, you can rerun the same-release installer to add or remove features within the same release.

Note: To run a Notes silent install or upgrade using MSI command line arguments ADDFEATURES, REMOVEFEATURES, and optionally the deprecated SELECTINSTALLFEATURES argument, see Performing a Notes silent install or upgrade on Windows and Running a silent install or upgrade using optional arguments.

In addition to the following considerations, see related topics for relevant considerations.
