Appx A: Setup command line parameters

Appx A: Setup command line parameters

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 unins000.exe 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:

Blocky4BackupSetup_2_6_2_217.exe [optional parameters]

unins000.exe [optional parameters]

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:

Installation/Uninstallation

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
