Modifying a Universal Agent System Install via the Windows Installer Command Line Interface

This page describes how to modify a Universal Agent installation via the Windows Installer command line interface.

After Universal Agent is installed, Windows Installer can be run as many times as needed to modify the installation by:

  • Adding or Removing Universal Agent Components
  • Repairing a Corrupted Universal Agent Installation
  • Removing a Universal Agent Installation

(For a description of the parameters used in these procedures, see Windows Installer Command Line Parameters.)

Adding or Removing Universal Agent Components

Currently, it only is possible to add or remove individual Universal Agent components using the Windows Installer graphical interface (see Modifying a Universal Agent System Install via the Graphical Interface).

Repairing a Corrupted Universal Agent Installation

To recover accidentally deleted files or registry entries required by Universal Agent using the Windows Installer command line interface, use the /f switch together with the om parameters.

These are the same repair options set internally by the graphical interface installation. They cause Windows Installer to reinstall files that either are missing or older than the version contained in the Universal Agent distribution file.
 

Silent Repair, Distribution File Execution, with Log File

To repair a Universal Agent installation from the command line using the original distribution file, issue the following command:

In this command, <level> is the numeric package level and <platform> is x64 (64-bit distribution file).
 

Silent Repair, 64-bit Installation, Windows Installer Execution, with Log File

To repair a 64-bit Universal Agent installation using the .msi file that was extracted from the distribution file during the initial install, issue the following command:


In the last two examples, SetupPath refers to the location in which the extracted .msi file resides. The exact path varies, depending on the user account that performed the install and the Windows version.

For information on how the installation determines SetupPath, see Step 2 of the Installing via Command Line procedures.


Note

All of these commands also use the optional /L*v parameter to generate a log file named C:\temp\repair.log. If you want to generate a log file, you can substitute the path and file name for one of your choosing. If no log file is desired, simply omit the /L*v option and file name.

Removing a Universal Agent Installation

Interactive Removal, Distribution File Execution

To uninstall a Universal Agent installation from the command line using the original distribution file, issue the following command:

In this command, <level> is the numeric package level and <platform> is x64 for the 64-bit distribution file.
 

Silent Removal, 64-bit Installation, Windows Installer Execution

To uninstall a 64-bit Universal Agent installation using the .msi file that was extracted from the distribution file during the initial install, issue the following command:


In the last two examples, SetupPath refers to the location in which the extracted .msi file resides. The exact path varies depending on the user account that performed the install and the Windows version.

For information on how the installation determines SetupPath, see Step 2 of the Installing via Command Line procedures.
