Some users, particularly in larger corporate environments, might want to install SCP without any user interaction.

The normal EXE version of the setup files does not allow command line options, but has the advantage of including all prerequisites. If you use the MSI installer, you can use standard MSIEXEC options, but must install other runtime files first.

• The Visual C++ 2015 runtime is essential due to some of the graphical libraries used
• vc2015u3_redist_x86 is the filename included with SCP

If you install this first you can then do a perfectly quiet installation (if running from command prompt, remember you need elevated privileges):

msiexec /i scpsetup_2.0.0.9.msi /quiet

Configuring the licence silently

Floating licence

After installation, run the main executable with either the setupfloating or setupfloatingquiet command. They both have the same syntax, but setupfloatingquiet suppresses any messages. Example:

"Spring Calculator Professional.exe" setupfloatingquiet 127.0.0.1

Where 127.0.0.1 is the hostname or address of the licence server.

Note: you can add an additional switch on the end to specify a port number if you are using anything other than the default of 13.

Fixed licence

After installation, run the main executable with either the setuplicense or setuplicensequiet command. They both have the same syntax, but setuplicensequiet suppresses any messages. Example:

"Spring Calculator Professional.exe" setuplicensequiet ABCDEF

Where ABCDEF is the licence key provided by IST.
