Silent Install Drag & Drop Outlook Add-In
Silent Deployment – Drag & Drop Outlook Add-In
The Konnect eMail Outlook Add-In comes as a standard .msi installer file with the option to specify command line parameters to have consistent configuration when bulk deploying.
Microsoft msiexec.exe tool can be used for bulk deployment and for passing options into installation sequence. Along with Standard Installer Command-Line Options the following parameters can be used to apply configuration.
| Parameter | Values | Default | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| FILE_NAME_MODE | 0 1 2 |
0 | Value Type: Integer Sets “Email file name format” option. Values represent: 0 – Use email subject as filename 1 – Use email subject and append email id 2 – Set custom file name format |
| FILE_NAME_PATTERN | One or more of the following tokens can be used: {Subject} {From} {FromName} {To} {Id} {Date} {Time} |
{Subject}_{From} | Value Type: Text Use this parameter only if you intend to use “Set custom file name format” in the “Email file name format” i.e. FILE_NAME_MODE is 2 |
| MAX_FILE_NAME_LENGTH | 10 ~ 140 | 140 | Value Type: Integer Value must be greater than 10 and should be less that 140 |
| ENABLE_FILE_NAME_OVERRIDE | 0 1 |
1 | Value Type: Integer Sets “Email file name override” option. Values represent: 0 – Disabled 1 – Enabled |
| ACTIVATION_KEY | XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX | Value Type: Alpha Numeric Apply “Activation Key” with the install. Note: The product does not get activated by the installer, but when the application first starts. |
Note: If you have already installed the product on the machine and configured settings at least once you have to remove user-specific settings from the Windows registry (we do not recommend this). Install saves defaults at the machine level but user-specific settings always have higher priority.
Example Usage
The following command
msiexec /i KonnectAddInSetupAdmin-x64.msi FILE_NAME_MODE=2 FILE_NAME_PATTERN={Subject}_{Date}_{Time} MAX_FILE_NAME_LENGTH=80 ENABLE_FILE_NAME_OVERRIDE=0 ACTIVATION_KEY=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx
will set the below options with the install and activate the product on first use.
