AhsayOBM/AhsayACB: 7.3.2.0 to 7.x
OS: Windows
ATTENTION 1st January, 2022: v7 officially End-of-Life [details] ===== Description ===== Is there any script for silent installation of AhsayOBM or AhsayACB on Windows platform (so that the client application is installed without the end user interaction)?
AhsayOBM /AhsayACB v7 supports two silent installation options on Windows platform.
-
“Slient” mode
.
During a “Silent” mode AhsayOBM/AhsayACB installation the progress is displayed on screen but the end user does not need to take any action.
- Example: AhsayOBM “Silent” mode install visual feedback
- Example: AhsayOBM “Silent” mode install visual feedback
-
“Very Silent” mode.
During a “Very Silent” mode AhsayOBM/AhsayACB installation there is no visual feedback about the installation progress on screen.
===== Assumptions =====
-
The AhsayOBM/AhsayACB installers have been branded to include;
the Backup Server URL, Backup Protocol, and Backup Port settings.
For example, backup server URL is 10.3.1.8, protocol is https, and the port is 443.
- Example: AhsayOBM Settings
- Example: AhsayACB Settings
- Example: AhsayOBM Settings
-
The *.exe installer (obc-win.exe) is renamed according to the desired application (AhsayOBM/AhsayACB) to be installed, to bypass the software selection screen which requires user input.
- Example: AhsayOBM/AhsayACB Windows Installer Product Selection Screen
i. For AhsayOBM install the name should be for example, obm-win-443-10.3.1.8-https.exe
ii. For AhsayACB install the name should be for example, acb-win-443-10.3.1.8-https.exe
Note: "443-10.3.1.8-https" corresponds to the backup server settings {port number}-{backup server URL}-{protocol}
- Example: AhsayOBM/AhsayACB Windows Installer Product Selection Screen

The default language selection on AhsayOBM/AhsayACB is English.
- Windows UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on the Window machine where AhsayOBM/AhsayACB slient installation occurs.
