Install command-line parameters

Loftware installer can be controlled using command-line parameters.

Note

Make sure to use the upper-case syntax exactly as shown. Most of the parameters are used without the leading slash, with two exceptions: /s (for silent install) and /l (for logging).

The following command-line switches can be used if you want to perform a silent installation. This is the installation mode when a user does not have to provide any information for the installation and no dialog boxes are shown to the user. But you have to provide all required information through these command-line switches.

Note

The switches below work only when you use the silent install switch /s.
