Toad Data Studio Subscription 1.0 - Installation Guide

Install Toad Silently

Silent installation provides a convenient method for deploying Toad to multiple machines. With some customization, you can also deploy the license key and settings at the same time.

Determine Which Installer to Use

Before performing a silent installation, review the following to determine which installer to use:

Installer

Advantages

Disadvantages

Executable file (.exe)

Silent installation using the .exe file has the following advantages: 

  • Verifies whether the prerequisite software is installed, and if not, redirects you to the download location.

Silent installation using the .exe file has the following disadvantages: 

  • Cannot deploy custom Toad settings files or license keys.
  • Installer automatically exits if the prerequisite software is not installed.

Microsoft Installer file (.msi)

Supports deployment of Toad settings files and license keys.

Silent installation using the .msi file has the following disadvantages: 

  • Requires manual verification and download of any prerequisite software.
  • Requires a manual uninstall of the previous version of Toad using Add/Remove Programs.

Silent Installation Prerequisites

Before you can perform a silent installation, the following software must be installed on every computer where you are installing Toad

Silent Installation Using the Executable

Use the executable file to perform a silent install to the default directory (or to a different directory) and to specify options such as logging installation messages.

To perform a silent install using the executable file

  1. At a Windows command prompt, switch to the drive or directory where the executable for Toad is located.
  2. For a standard installation with all features enabled, enter the following command:

    ToadInstaller.exe” /S

    You can customize MSIEXEC command-line options and overrides for your installation similar to the following command:

    ToadInstaller.exe” /S /Lx “C:\temp\installLog.txt” INSTALLDIR=”Drive:\your_install_path” USERNAME=”some_user” COMPANYNAME=”your_company” ALLUSERS=1

    Use the following descriptions to customize the command-line options and overrides for your installation.

    Command-Line Options

    The following MSIEXEC command-line options are used in this example:

    Option

    Description

    /L “C:\temp\installLog.txt

    (Optional) Write installation messages to the specified log file.

    Substitute “C:\temp\installLog.txt” in the example with the fully qualified name of the log file. Enclose this value in double quotations. The installation process creates this file if it does not exist. Otherwise, the existing file is overwritten.

    You can add additional parameters to the logging option to indicate what type of information to log.

    • /Lx—Adds extra debugging information to the log (used in previous example)
    • /Lv—Specifies verbose output
    • /L*—Log all information, except that specified by x and v
    • /L*v—Log all information, including v (verbose output)
    • /L*x—Log all information, including x (extra debugging info)
    • /L*vx—Log all information, including that specified by v and x

    See the log section at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988.aspx for more information about additional logging parameters.

    /64BIT

    Setup installs a 64-bit version of Toad.

    This parameter applies only if written right after the path to the executable, e.g.:

    C:\Users\JDoe\Downloads\ToadDataStudio_pro_1.0.0.exe" /64BIT /S /Lx “C:\temp\installLog.txt” INSTALLDIR=”C:\Program Files\Quest Software\Toad”

    License="full_path"

    Specify the full path to a license file, e.g. License="C:\ProgramData\Quest Software\Toad Data Studio". Toad Data Studio to use Toad with the desired license.

    Toad Default Installation Option Overrides

    You can specify the following values to override Toad’s default installation options. Enclose each value in double quotations.

    Option

    Description

    INSTALLDIR

    (Optional) Specify the absolute path for the directory in which you want to install Toad. If you do not include this path, the installation program defaults to:

    C:\Program Files \Quest Software\Toad Data Studio1.0.

    ALLUSERS

    (Optional) Specify one of the following:

    • For a per-machine installation, specify 1. This value allows any user to use the Toad shortcut on the desktop after the installation completes.
    • For a per-user installation, enter the empty string value (“”) This value allows only the user specified for USERNAME (and the user that installed Toad) to see the Toad shortcut on the target desktop. If USERNAME is omitted, only the user that installed Toad sees the shortcut.

    Note: If you do not specify this property, the installation program defaults to a per-user installation.

    USERNAME

    (Optional) Specify the user that intends to use Toad on the target computer.

    Notes:

    • If ALLUSERS is omitted or defined with the empty string value (""), only the user specified here (and the user that installed Toad) can see the Toad shortcut on the desktop after the installation completes.
    • If ALLUSERS is omitted or defined with the empty string value ("") and you omit the USERNAME option, only the user that installed Toad sees the Toad shortcut on the desktop.
    • If ALLUSERS is 1, the USERNAME value is ignored during installation.

    COMPANYNAME

    (Optional) Specify the name of the company that owns this installation.

    ALLOWPASSWORDS=FALSE

    (Optional) Set in order to prohibit users from saving their passwords in Toad.

    OPTIONSTEMPLATE (Optional) Enter a full path to the Options Template that you generated in Tools | Options | General.

    Notes: 

    • All default installation option overrides are case-sensitive.
    • Enclose all values (except for the ALLUSERS value) in double quotations.

Silent Installation Using the Microsoft Installer

Note: (MSI installs on Windows 7) If you are using MSI to install Toad on Windows 7 with UAC enabled, you can install a file that adds a "Run as administrator" option when right-clicking the MSI file: http://www.symantec.com/connect/downloads/msi-run-administrator-context-menu-vista.

Note: The installer does not verify that system requirements have been met before installing. If you do not want to manually verify system requirements, you should use the .exe file for the silent install.

MSI Prerequisites

Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2015 is required by Toad, however it is not installed when you use the Microsoft (.msi) installer. Ensure that this software is installed prior to performing an install using the .msi installer. For downloads, see Visual C++ Redistributable for VS 2015. For related information, see KB2999226 - Update for Universal C Runtime in Windows.

Install both vc_redist.x86.exe and vc_redist.x64.exe.

This software is required to enable some features in Toad Data Studio, such as Local Storage. This software is included in installation when using the executable (.exe) installer.

Perform Silent Installation Using MSI

You can deploy the license key, custom settings, and connections files when installing using the .msi installer. See Install Toad Silently for more information.

To perform a silent install using msi

  1. At a Windows command prompt, switch to the drive or directory where the msi installer for Toad is located.
  2. For a standard installation with all features enabled, enter the following command:

    msiexec /i “ToadInstaller.msi” /q

    You can customize command-line options and overrides for your installation similar to the following:

    msiexec /i “ToadInstaller.msi” INSTALLDIR= “Drive:\your_install_path” /q USERNAME=”someone” COMPANYNAME=”your_company” ALLUSERS=1

    Command-Line Options

    The following MSIEXEC command-line options are used in this example:

    Option Description
    /i Run the installation.
    /q

    Specify the user interface (UI) that displays during installation. You can append other options, such as n to hide the UI or b to hide the Cancel button during the installation.

    Note: All command-line options are case-insensitive. See http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa367988.aspx for a complete list of command-line options.

Install Toad on Citrix Systems

Toad must be installed on the Citrix server by the Citrix administrator. Users then connect to this instance through their Citrix login.

To install Toad on a Citrix system

  1. Connect to the Citrix Environment as an administrator.

  2. Copy Toad to the Citrix server, if needed.

  3. Start the Toad installation process.

  4. During installation, select the Anyone who uses this computer checkbox when prompted.

  5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each server in the Citrix farm.

    Note: Although you must install Toad on every server in the Citrix farm, you only need to publish Toad once.

  1. Review the following considerations regarding licensing:

    • A license supplied by an administrator always overrides a user-supplied license in a Citrix environment.
    • If you need to provide the same Toad functionality to all users, you can enter the default license key for all users.

 

Uninstall Toad

If you uninstall Toad, it may not uninstall completely. When you use Toad, you create new files such as SQL scripts, data output, or temp files, etc. The following types of files are not removed when you uninstall:

  • Any new files you create
  • Any copies of files you make for backup purposes
  • Settings files

You can uninstall Toad Data Studio by using the Installer or by using the Windows Add/Remove Programs (or Uninstall a program) feature. Using the Installer is the preferred way to uninstall Toad Data Studio.

To uninstall Toad

  1. Run the ToadInstaller.exe.
  2. Select Uninstall Toad Data Studio only.
  3. Complete the wizard.
