Customizing the Windows Installation
|
||||
------------------------------------
|
||||
|
||||
If you just want to install Nextcloud Desktop Synchronization Client on your local
|
||||
system, you can simply launch the `.msi` file and configure it in the wizard
|
||||
that pops up.
|
||||
|
||||
Features
|
||||
^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The MSI installer provides several features that can be installed or removed
|
||||
individually, which you can also control via command-line, if you are automating
|
||||
the installation, then run the following command::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi
|
||||
|
||||
The command will install the Nextcloud Desktop Synchronization Client into the default location
|
||||
with the default features enabled.
|
||||
If you want to disable, e.g., desktop shortcut icons you can simply change the above command to the following::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi REMOVE=DesktopShortcut
|
||||
|
||||
See the following table for a list of available features:
|
||||
|
||||
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
||||
| Feature | Enabled by default | Description |Property to disable |
|
||||
+====================+====================+===================================+===========================+
|
||||
| Client | Yes, required | The actual client | |
|
||||
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
||||
| DesktopShortcut | Yes | Adds a shortcut to the desktop |``NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT`` |
|
||||
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
||||
| StartMenuShortcuts | Yes | Adds a shortcut to the start menu |``NO_START_MENU_SHORTCUTS``|
|
||||
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
||||
| ShellExtensions | Yes | Adds Explorer integration |``NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS`` |
|
||||
+--------------------+--------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------+
|
||||
|
||||
Installation
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
You can also choose to only install the client itself by using the following command::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi ADDDEFAULT=Client
|
||||
|
||||
If you for instance want to install everything but the ``DesktopShortcut`` and the ``ShellExtensions`` feature, you have two possibilities:
|
||||
|
||||
1. You explicitly name all the features you actually want to install (whitelist) where `Client` is always installed anyway::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi ADDDEFAULT=StartMenuShortcuts
|
||||
|
||||
2. You pass the `NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT` and `NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS` properties::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi NO_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT="1" NO_SHELL_EXTENSIONS="1"
|
||||
|
||||
.. NOTE::
|
||||
The Nextcloud `.msi` remembers these properties, so you don't need to specify them on upgrades.
|
||||
|
||||
.. NOTE::
|
||||
You cannot use these to change the installed features, if you want to do that, see the next section.
|
||||
|
||||
Changing Installed Features
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
You can change the installed features later by using `REMOVE` and `ADDDEFAULT` properties.
|
||||
|
||||
1. If you want to add the the desktop shortcut later, run the following command::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi ADDDEFAULT="DesktopShortcut"
|
||||
|
||||
2. If you want to remove it, simply run the following command::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi REMOVE="DesktopShortcut"
|
||||
|
||||
Windows keeps track of the installed features and using `REMOVE` or `ADDDEFAULT` will only affect the mentioned features.
|
||||
|
||||
Compare `REMOVE <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa371194(v=vs.85).aspx>`_
|
||||
and `ADDDEFAULT <https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/desktop/aa367518(v=vs.85).aspx>`_
|
||||
on the Windows Installer Guide.
|
||||
|
||||
.. NOTE::
|
||||
You cannot specify `REMOVE` on initial installation as it will disable all features.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation Folder
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
You can adjust the installation folder by specifying the `INSTALLDIR`
|
||||
property like this::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Non Standard Nextcloud Client Folder"
|
||||
|
||||
Be careful when using PowerShell instead of `cmd.exe`, it can be tricky to get
|
||||
the whitespace escaping right there.
|
||||
Specifying the `INSTALLDIR` like this only works on first installation, you cannot simply re-invoke the `.msi` with a different path. If you still need to change it, uninstall it first and reinstall it with the new path.
|
||||
|
||||
Disabling Automatic Updates
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
To disable automatic updates, you can pass the `SKIPAUTOUPDATE` property.::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /passive /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi SKIPAUTOUPDATE="1"
|
||||
|
||||
Launch After Installation
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
To launch the client automatically after installation, you can pass the `LAUNCH` property.::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi LAUNCH="1"
|
||||
|
||||
This option also removes the checkbox to let users decide if they want to launch the client
|
||||
for non passive/quiet mode.
|
||||
|
||||
.. NOTE::
|
||||
This option does not have any effect without GUI.
|
||||
|
||||
No Reboot After Installation
|
||||
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
||||
|
||||
The Nextcloud Client schedules a reboot after installation to make sure the Explorer extension is correctly (un)loaded.
|
||||
If you're taking care of the reboot yourself, you can set the `REBOOT` property::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi REBOOT=ReallySuppress
|
||||
|
||||
This will make `msiexec` exit with error `ERROR_SUCCESS_REBOOT_REQUIRED` (3010).
|
||||
If your deployment tooling interprets this as an actual error and you want to avoid that, you may want to set the `DO_NOT_SCHEDULE_REBOOT` instead::
|
||||
|
||||
msiexec /i Nextcloud-x.y.z-x64.msi DO_NOT_SCHEDULE_REBOOT="1"
