Can I Silent Install erwin Data Modeler 2020 R2?

Answer:

Yes, you can silent install erwin Data Modeler 2020 R2. Please  see below instructions.

Steps:

To install erwin DM using a silent installation, run the following command:

"<erwinDM .exe location>\<executable-name>.exe" /s /v"REBOOT=ReallySuppress LICENSECODE=<code> /norestart /qn /L <erwinDM .exe location>\<log-file-name>.log"

This command takes the location of the executable file and the license code as parameters. It installs erwin DM without restarting your system and creates a log file at the specified location.

***Note: Silent Installation does not work for upgrading erwin DM. To upgrade to a newer version of erwin DM, first uninstall the existing version and then use the below steps for Silent Installation to install the newer version.

For example, assume the following:

1. erwin DM executable is named EDM2020r1-b8020-64bit.exe.
2. erwin DM executable is present at C:\Build\. This location may differ on your computer.
3. License code is 123456789012345678.
4. Log file is named install.log.

Based on the above assumptions, the command is as follows:

"C:\Build\EDM2020r1-b8020-64bit.exe" /s /v"REBOOT=ReallySuppress LICENSECODE=123456789012345678 /norestart /qn /L C:\Build\install.log"

Following are the scenarios and the respective commands that you can follow:

• With restart: Set "REBOOT=Force" and remove "/norestart". For example,
  "C:\Build\EDM2020r1-b8020-64bit.exe" /s /v"REBOOT=Force LICENSECODE=123456789012345678 /qn /L C:\Build\install.log"
• Without restart: Set "REBOOT=Really Suppress" and add "/norestart" after the license code. For example,
  "C:\Build\EDM2020r1-b8020-64bit.exe" /s /v"REBOOT=ReallySuppress LICENSECODE=123456789012345678 /norestart /qn /L C:\Build\install.log"
• With log: Add "/L <location and name of the log file>" to the command. For example,
  "C:\Build\EDM2020r1-b8020-64bit.exe" /s /v"REBOOT=ReallySuppress LICENSECODE=123456789012345678 /norestart /qn /L C:\Build\install.log"
• Without log: Exclude "/L <location and name of the log file>" in the command. For example,
  "C:\Build\EDM2020r1-b8020-64bit.exe" /s /v"REBOOT=ReallySuppress LICENSECODE=123456789012345678 /norestart /qn"

Note: These commands also work for older 9.x releases as well.
