Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide 5

MSI Extraction

Extract Product MSI Files

The Quest Installer can be launched in ‘extraction mode,’ which allows you to extract the various product MSI installers that are included in the Toad edition software. You can then run these MSI files to perform silent installations.

To launch the Quest Installer in extract mode

1. Run any of the Toad Editions from the command prompt, adding the ‘/extract’ parameter:

Note: You can only extract the MSI files that are included in the edition you select. Make sure you use a edition that contains the MSI files that you require. In this example, we have used the Toad DBA Suite, which contains the MSI files for most of the products.

2. The Quest Installer will launch in extract mode and the Extract Location page displays. Note that all references to ‘installing’ have been replaced with the word

‘Extract’.

The default path for the extracted files and the extraction log is the currently logged in user’s Temp directory\edition name e.g.:

C:\Documents and Settings\<current_user>\Local Settings\Temp\Toad DBA Suite for Oracle 10.5.1 Commercial

This can be changed to any location, either by entering a path directly into the field or by clicking Browse and selecting a destination directory.

Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide 6

3. After entering a new path and clicking Next, you are prompted to create the new folder (In this example, we will use C:\Toad_MSI):

4. After clicking Yes, the Product Selection window displays:

This window displays all of the products that are contained within the Toad edition. Only products that contain a MSI installer are available for selection and by default, all of these products are selected.

You can deselect any products that you do not want to extract, and then click

Next. The Summary and Confirmation window displays.

Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide 7

5. This window lists all of the products (and any of the dependencies) that will be extracted to your selected location:

You can click Back to change your selections, or click Extract to continue with the extraction process.

6. If you continue with the extraction, the Extract Installers window displays. This window provides textual information on which files are being extracted, and a visual indication of the extraction progress:

7. When all the extractions are complete, the Software Installer Extraction Complete window displays. This window has two hyperlinks on it:

Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide 8

The ‘ specified location ’ link will take you to the directory where your files have been extracted to (as defined in Step 2.):

The ‘ Readme.txt

‘ link will launch the extraction log in Notepad.

The extraction log contains verification of the files that have been extracted, along with the command-line parameters that are needed to perform default installations of the products. It also defines the order in which the products need to be installed to satisfy the dependencies between the products:

Silent Install Batch File

The file SilentInstall.bat is created when you perform the extraction. This batch file contains the commands to silently install all the products that you selected from the

Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide 9 relative path. The install requires the applicable directories from the locations that you extract to and installs each product into the default directory.

Installing to Non-Default Directories

If you require your installations to be other than default, see Command-Line

Parameters for Toad Products

for more information about the command-line parameters that you can use.

Note: You do not need to install the Quest Installer onto any of the machines that the

Toad products are being deployed to silently. The Quest Installer is used only to extract the MSI files that you require. Once you have the MSI files, the Quest

Installer is no longer required.

If after reading this document you require further assistance, please contact Quest

Support. http://support.quest.com/

Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide

Command-Line Parameters for Toad Products

Toad for Oracle

Full Installation and Citrix Silent Installation

10

The Windows internal command msiexec.exe launches the MSI and passes any command-line parameters you set. A typical command line might look like this: msiexec /i "<path to msi file, including file name>"INSTALLDIR="<installation folder, including final \>" ADDLOCAL=Client,Server/q /l*v <path to install log, including file name>

Note: INSTALLDIR must include the final \ for a silent installation to be performed.

For example: msiexec /i "C:\Documents and

Settings\johndoe\desktop\ToadforOracle97.exe"INSTALLDIR="C:\Programs\Quest

Software\Toad for Oracle" ADDLOCAL=Client,Server/q /l*v "C:\install.log"

Toad Uninstall

Uninstalling the MSI is similar. Use an "x" in place of the "i" and do not include the

INSTALLDIR property, i.e.: msiexec /x "C:\Documents and

Settings\johndoe\Desktop\ToadforOracle91SetupFull.msi" /q

Note that the ! option is available with

Windows Installer 2.0 and works only with basic UI. It is not valid with full UI.

Toad Patch Installation

If you have already installed a previous version of Toad, to upgrade silently you must include the following parameters on the msiexec command-line to specify an upgrade:

REINSTALLMODE=vo REINSTALL=ALL

Additional command line parameters can still be included.

Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide 13

For example, if you are currently in the directory where the MSI resides, entering:

msiexec.exe /i ToadforOracle10SetupFull.msi REINSTALLMODE=vo

REINSTALL=ALL will install to the standard install location.

You can also set additional parameters, or run the MSI from a location other than the active directory, as in the following example: msiexec /i "C:\Documents and

Settings\johndoe\desktop\ToadforOracle10SetupFull.msi REINSTALLMODE=vo

REINSTALL=ALL INSTALLDIR="C:\Programs\Quest Software\Toad for Oracle\" /q

/l*v "C:\install.log"

Note: If these parameters are not included, the msi will simply register that Toad is already installed, and an upgrade will not occur.

Spotlight on Oracle with RAC Option

You cannot install the extracted Spotlight on Oracle with RAC Option installer, as it is not an MSI and cannot be run outside of the Quest Installer.

If you want to obtain a copy of the Spotlight on Oracle with RAC Option MSI that you can install silently, please contact Quest Support. They can be contacted via the

Support website at http://support.quest.com/ .

Note: Spotlight on Oracle with RAC Option is only included in the Toad DBA Suite for Oracle – RAC Edition (Commercial and Trial versions).

Toad for Data Analysts

You can silently install Toad for Data Analysts by running the command: msiexec /i “Path\ToadforDataAnalystsInstallerName.msi” /q

You can use msi logging switch to get an install log by running: msiexec /i “Path\ToadforDataAnalystsInstallerName.msi” /q /L*v Path\verboseLog.txt

There are some optional properties you can override:

INSTALLDIR : Specify a folder other than default folder you want TDA to be installed to

READONLY : Set it to TRUE if you want to install TDA as read-only

ApplicationUsers: Use "AllUsers" to install TDA for all users, Use “OnlyCurrentUser" to install TDA only for the user perform installation

This is a typical customized command to install TDA read-only for all users to a user selected folder: msiexec /i “Path\TDAInstallerName.msi” INSTALLDIR= “Your_install_path”

READONLY=TRUE ApplicationUsers=”AllUsers” /q

Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide 14

Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide 16

Benchmark Factory

You can silently install Benchmark Factory by specifying the following command:

Msiexec.exe /I “<path to msi file>\ BenchmarkFactory_Version.msi” /qn

INSTALLDIR=”destination directory”

T oad Data Modeler

To perform a silent instal lation of Toad Data Modeler, you must have the setup.MSI file for Toad Data Modeler. This MSI is then used with the installation variable to define the installation options.

T he argument for the silent installation from a command line is “/q”. To specify a directory where Toad Data Modeler should be installed, it is possible to use

INSTALLDIR=”PATH” . (Otherwise, the default path will be used.)

E xample: setup.msi / q INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad Data Modeler

Version\"

T o specify which database platform Toad Data Modeler should be installed to or which shortcuts should be created and where, use the ADDLOCAL parameter. If this parameter is not used, a default installation will be performed.

E xample: setup.msi / q INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad Data Modeler

Version\" ADDLOCAL=Complete,XPMANIFEST,SUPPORTDATABASES,

SHORTCUTUNINSTALL,SHORTCUTDESKTOP,SHORTCUTSTARTMEN U,SHORT

CUTQUICKLAUNCH,SHORTCUTHELP,POSTGRESQL,POSTGRESQL81,POSTG

RESQL82

If you use the ADDLOCAL parameter, always select the following options: Complete,

XPMANIFEST, SUPPORTDATABASES. These options are obligatory for the correct installation.

D uring installation of support for particular database platform, it is necessary to install basic support for the selected database platform.

E xample: For successful installation of support for an Oracle 10g database, Oracle must be selected too.

Product Licenses

You can install a license as part of the silent install process by running Questkey.exe

(Please request this file from support). Questkey.exe will use the

ProductLicenses.xml file from the same location that questkey.exe is run from and copy it to the license’s common location so that it will be merged to any existing license file when a Toad product runs.

When you extract any Toad Edition, the Product Licenses template file

(ProductLicenses.xml) is extracted along with the selected MSI’s to the specified location. Simply modify this with the license key and site message that you received from Quest Software. See below for more details regarding the license file format.

Starting with version 4.4 of the Quest Installer, questkey.exe will be part of the extraction process.

QuestKey Licensing XML Document Format

XML Format

The format of the xml file is fairly straight forward. It is a simple collection of license nodes. There is a license node for each license that has been saved to the computer. Each License node is made up of 3 attributes and 2 elements.

Here is an example of a License node:

< License ProductName = " [product name] " ProductVersion = " [product version] " KeySaveDate = " [key save date] " >

<

<

LicenseKey

</ License >

>

SiteMessage

[License Key]

>

</

[Site Message]

LicenseKey

</

>

SiteMessage >

License Node Attributes

ProductName: This is a case sensitive text value that is assigned by Quest to uniquely identify the product associated with the license key. ProductNames are not likely to change between versions of the product. It is recommended to not alter this attribute.

ProductVersion: This is a unique identifier for a specific version of a product. It is typically only specific to the major version number (1.x). This means that all minor and patch updates are still able to use this key. However it can be specified all the way down to build number if required by the product (1.0.0.13). Its primary purpose is to support side-by-side installations of different versions of a product.

KeySaveDate: This is the date that the key was saved into the system. This is used internally by the product for determining key priority when more than one suitable key is found. It is interpreted as an OLE date type and is represented as a floating point number. When doing a silent installation, or manually editing the

ProductLicenses.xml file, it is recommended to omit this attribute. If this value is missing, the product will automatically update this attribute with the file’s last modified date value.

Toad® for Oracle Editions Silent Installation Guide 19

License Node Elements

LicenseKey: This is the license key that was provided by Quest.

SiteMessage: This is also provided by Quest, and typically contains the name of the customer and other asset information.

XML Location

This Xml file can be found in one of three locations depending upon the needs of the product. The 3 locations are Local User, Roaming User, and All Users. By default, all Toad products save the license key information in the Local User directory. However, all of the Toad products are capable of reading from any of the 3 locations.

These directories are defined by the operating system and vary from platform to platform. The following tables list the directory locations by platform.

Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows 2003

Local user C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Application

Data\Quest Software\ProductLicenses.xml

Roaming User C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Application Data\Quest

Software\ProductLicenses.xml

All Users C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Quest

Software\ProductLicenses.xml

Windows Vista, Windows 2008, Windows 7

Local user C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Quest Software\ProductLicenses.xml

Roaming User C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Roaming\Quest Software\ProductLicenses.xml

All Users C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\ProductLicenses.xml
