# Appx A: Setup command line parameters

## Appx A: Setup command line parameters <a href="#heading-h.2iq8gzs" id="heading-h.2iq8gzs"></a>

The BlockyforVeeam® configuration accepts command-line parameters. These are intended for system administrators or scripted installations.

The same goes for the uninstallation which can be invoked by the uninstall program <mark style="color:red;">unins000.exe</mark> in the BlockyforVeeam® installation path.

Administrative rights are required to install, update or uninstall BlockyforVeeam®.

As BlockyforVeeam® setup is based on Inno Setup, please check for the general command-line parameter description on their website.

**Setup command line**

**Syntax:**

{% hint style="info" %}
Blocky4BackupSetup\_2\_6\_2\_217.exe \[optional parameters]

unins000.exe \[optional parameters]
{% endhint %}

**Optional parameters:**

**/COMPONENTS="core,gui"**

* Only be selectable for a new installation
* If not specified GUI and core will be installed.

**/Secret=\<self-defined-password>**

* When installing for the first time, this sets the initial, self-defined password.
* On update: This supplies the self-defined password required for updates.
* On deinstall: This supplies the self-defined password required for deinstall.

Silent mode (/silent or /very silent) requires the above secret parameter.

Don’t confuse it with the parameter /Password provided by Inno Setup. This is not used.

**Example:**

*<mark style="color:red;">Installation/Uninstallation</mark>*

{% hint style="info" %}
Blocky4BackupSetup\_2\_6\_2\_217.exe       /silent       /COMPONENTS="core"       /secret=MyPassword2020 Blocky4BackupSetup\_2\_6\_2\_217.exe       /silent       /secret=MyPassword2020

unins000.exe    /silent    /secret=MyPassword2020
{% endhint %}

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.blockyforveeam.com/administration-guide/appx-a-setup-command-line-parameters.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
