Silent Installation

Silent installation pre-populates an INI file with installation parameters and installs PortalProtect without the need for administrator intervention. You need to have a PortalProtect setup package or build to run silent installation.

To install PortalProtect using Silent Install:
  1. Go to /PP setup package/PP/ where you can see a list of executable files.

  2. Copy all the files in the PortalProtect subfolder along with the tool SilentSetup.exe to the location where you want to execute the Silent Install for PortalProtect.

  3. After copying the files, go to the command prompt and change the current directory to refer to the PortalProtect folder.

  1. Type Setup /? to view a list of options that you can use for the Silent Install procedure.

  2. Type Setup /R to start the Silent Install procedure, which displays the Trend Micro Portal Protect Setup screen.

  3. You can define a specific path to store the pre-configured file using: Setup /R <pre-configured file path>. If you do not specify the pre-configuration file path, the pre-configuration file will set to: %Windir%\temp as Setup-PortalProtect.iss.

  1. The tool generates the pre-configured file: Setup-PortalProtect.iss. The default file path is located in the folder: %windir%\temp. The contents of the preconfigured file are as follows:

  1. Run Setup /S C:\Windows\Temp\Setup-PortalProtect.iss to enable Silent Install to perform an unattended installation of PortalProtect.

  2. After Setup installs PortalProtect on your computer, it creates the setup log files in the %windir%\temp folder.

  3. Silent Install allows you to install PortalProtect on any path you choose unlike the setup program, which installs PortalProtect in the default system Program Files folder as %ProgramFiles%\Trend Micro\Portal Protect.
