The SA Installer supports several command-line options. These are typically most useful for IT departments doing a silent or automated install. The most command-line options can be combined and are as follows:
/?. Lists the command line options.
/S. Performs a silent install. This must be a CAPTIALS. The installer will operate in the background without user intervention.
/CREATESHORTCUT. Creates a desktop shortcut when installed in silent mode.
/TEMPUNITS=[Celsius, Fahrenheit]. Sets the default temperature units for the installation. If omitted, Fahrenheit will be the default, unless SA was installed previously, in which the temperature units will not change. Ex. usage: /TEMPUNITS=Celsius.
/LENGTHUNITS=[Inches, Feet, Millimeters, Centimeters, Meters]. Sets the default length units for the installation. If omitted, inches will be used as a default, unless SA was installed previously, in which the length units will not change. Ex. usage: / LENGTHUNITS=Millimeters.
To Install SA with Command-Line Options:
At the command line, first use the dos "CD" command to set the working directly to where the SA installer resides, such as the downloads folder.
Enter the executable name followed by the options desired. For instance, the following installs SpatialAnalyzer silently in the background while also creating a desktop shortcut and setting the length units to millimeters: “SpatialAnalyzer 2021.2.71490.1-installer.exe” /S /CREATESHORTCUT /LENGTHUNITS=Millimeters
