Using command line parameters to change the installation behavior

A user can install, upgrade or modify the features that are installed by using command line parameters on the setup.exe command.

Note: These examples use the setup.exe command. The parameters also work in the same way for the cwblaunch.exe command.
Before installing, the user needs to change directories to the directory that contains the installation image. There should be a network drive mapped to this image. If not, these are the locations of the installation images:
Table 1. Installation image locations
Processor type Installation source Location of Installation Image
32-bit IBM i Access for Windows DVD Windows\Image32
Licensed Program 5770-XE1 QIBM\ProdData\Access\Windows\Image32
64-bit AMD IBM i Access for Windows DVD Windows\Image64a
Licensed Program 5770-XE1 QIBM\ProdData\Access\Windows\Image64a
Note: When combining two or more options into the /v parameter or when the value of an option contains spaces you need to enclose them in apostrophes as shown in the following example:
setup /v"ADDLOCAL=dir TRANSFORMS=MyTransform.mst"
