Installing the console via the command line

The BMC Client Management console may also be installed via the command line using the console.msi executable file. This file is located in the installation or upgrade direcorty, for example, 

..\BCM_12.8.0_190124r_upgrade_win64\master\master_winx64.zip\upgrade\files.zip\ui\console\ install\x64\MSIConsole_x64.zip\.

To install the console via the command line, enter the following command with the desired options:

msiexec /i numara-footprints-asset-core-console.msi INSTALLDIR='<ConsoleInstallationDirectory>' ALLUSERS=2 DESKSHORTCUT=1 SSL=1

• The INSTALLDIR option defines the installation directory of the console. If the optional command is not used the default directory C:/Program Files/BMC Software/Client Management/console is used.
• The ALLUSERS option defines where the configuration information of the installed console is stored. The following values are possible:
  • ALLUSERS='': Determines a per-user installation using folders in the user's personal profile. For this option no administrator rights are required.
  • ALLUSERS=1: Specifies a per-device installation using folders in the All Users profile. Administrator rights are required for this option.
  • ALLUSERS=2: Offers two possibilities:
    • Specifies a per-device installation using folders in the All Users profile if the installation is launched by a user with administrator rights.
    • Determines a per-user installation using folders in the user's personal profile if the installation is launched by a user with only user rights.
• The DESKSHORTCUT option defines if a shortcut to the console is to be created on the desktop. By default the shortcut is created. If the value 0 is set, no shortcut is created.
• The SSL option defines if the communication between the console and the master agent is secured. By default this option is activated (1).
