Tm1 Client Silent Install - 9.5.1

[Lewis]

I am attempting to use the silent install for the first time - to upgrade to 9.5.1 clients from 9.1.

Issue install not silent - required normal interaction - here are the parameters I used.
( also install did not enable excel addin or reset adminhost )

setup.exe /S /L1033 /QN INSTALLLEVEL=0 INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Cognos\Tm1" ADDLOCAL=Tm1Client PRODUCTCHOOSEN=TM1P EXCELEDITINCELL=False TM1AUTOLOAD=True TM1LANGSTRING=ENG CLIENTLOGIN=F TM1CLIENTADMHOST=GPIPTCTM1PRD01

Any insight is greatly appreciated .

Thanks

Have you tried IBM support?

[Lewis]

No not yet- thought I would check with the real experts first to see if someone saw some
"undocumented feature" in my parameters

Will be placing a ticket shortly - will update post with information I get back .

Thanks

This one works for 9.5.2

yourpath\setup.exe /s /l1033 /v"INSTALLLEVEL=0 INSTALLDIR=\"C:\program files\Cognos\TM1\" ADDLOCAL=Registry,TM1Client,TM1_OLEDB_Provider,Perspectives,DocLibrary,PDFCamp PRODUCTCHOSEN=TM1P EXCELEDITINCELL=False TM1AUTOLOAD=True EXCELTOOLSVRHOST=yourservername TM1LANGSTRING=ENG CLIENTLOGIN=T TM1CLIENTADMHOST=yourservername /qr /lv* %TEMP%\TM1ClientInstall.log

Unfortunately that did not work for me either

Seems to get past first install screen then I get popup > 'upgrade from 9.1 box message.

Ask IBM if there is an install log file output somewhere ( no reply yet ) .

I have ticket in with IBM so far nothing - will post results from ticket

Thanks

I expect Gregor's command is going to work for a clean install but in your case you want to automate the un-install as well as the install. The silent install commands changed (subtly in some cases) between 9.0.x and 9.1.x and 9.4.x and so I imagine they changed again for 9.5.x. I used to get quick and accurate vendor support on this issue... but haven't asked the question for a while - so good luck!
