  • How can I quickly install Clients on all workstations on a network (silent installation)?

A silent installation allows you to remotely install an application on all workstations on a network, without having to intervene on each workstation.

Step 1: Prepare the *.iss file

The first step is to save all the answers to the questions asked during a "manual" installation in an *.iss file. To generate this file, proceed as follows:
  1. From a workstation on which the Client PRONOTE has not yet been installed, download the latest version of the Client PRONOTE (from this site, in the rubric Downloadby saving it in a folder (in our example, we download the Install_HYPclient_EN1000200.exe application in the c:\InstallSilencieuse folder.
If necessary, the command lines shown below will be customized according to the version downloaded and the folder where the application was saved.
  1. Display a command prompt (by typing cmd in the Start menu search box) then enter the following command lines:
    • cd c:\Install
    • Install_HYPclient_FR1000200.exe -r -f1c:\Install\ClientPRONOTE.iss
  2. the installation of Client PRONOTE is launched: proceed with the installation; your answers are saved and will be reused during installation on the various workstations in the network.
  3. At the end of the installation, the file ClientPRONOTE.iss containing your answers is generated in the folder c:\Install, next to the installation file.

Step 2: Test the silent installation

  1. Uninstall the Client PRONOTE from the workstation on which you "manufactured" the silent installation and check that the c:\InstallSilencieuse folder contains the 2 files:
    • Install_HYPclient_FR1000200.exe
    • ClientPRONOTE.iss
  2. Display a command prompt (by typing cmd in the search box of the menu Start) then enter the following command lines:
    • cd c:\Install
    • Install_HYPclient_FR1000200.exe -s -f1c:\Install\ClientPRONOTE.iss -f2c:\Install\resultat.log
  3. The installation of the Client PRONOTE takes place without you having to answer any questions. The answers given in step 1 are used.
  4. a file resultat.log is generated in the file c:\Install: if the installation was successful, you should read at the end of the file: ResultCode=0.

    Step 3: Launch the silent installation on all the workstations

    To install the Client PRONOTE on all workstations on the network, run the previous script remotely.

    Here's an example of a Vbscript script that can be used. You can copy it into a text file with the extension *.vbs. You can remotely copy and run this file on any workstation where you want to install the Client PRONOTE.

    Set WshShell = Wscript.CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
    Set WSHNetwork = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Network")
    Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
    computer = WshNetwork.ComputerName
    On error Resume Next
    If Not Fso.FolderExists("c:\temp") Then
    Fso.CreateFolder("C:\temp")
    End IF
    Fso.CopyFile "NomDuServeur\Install \*.*","C:\temp",True
    wscript.Sleep 2000
    command1 = "CMD /C C:\temp\Install_HYPclient_FR1000200.exe -s -f1c:\temp\ClientPRONOTE.iss -f2c:\temp\resultat.log"
    Wshshell.run command1,0,True
    wscript.sleep 5000
    If Fso.FileExists("c:\temp\resultat.log") Then
    Fso.CopyFile "c:\temp\resultat.log","NomDuServeur\Install\resultat-" & computer & ".log",True
    End If
    WScript.Quit
