Silent Installation of meshIQ Enterprise Manager on Windows

This article explains how to perform a silent installation of AutoPilot components on Windows using an installer.properties file. Silent installation allows the software to be installed without any user interaction, which is useful for automated deployments.

Prerequisites

Before starting the silent installation:

  • Download the AutoPilot installation package.

  • Ensure that the installer executable and the installer.properties file are available.

  • Update the properties file according to your environment.

From v11 onward, a valid serial number is required for all installations(Domain, Admin).

Step 1 — Create installer.properties File

Create a file named:

installer.properties

Example file:

INSTALLER_UI=silent

USER_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\meshiq\\platform

USER_SUPPLIED_SERIAL_NUMBER=YOUR_SERIAL_NUMBER

CHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST=ADMIN
CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET=Custom

AP_DOMAIN_SERVER_HOST_1=localhost
AP_DOMAIN_SERVER_HOST_2=2323
AP_DOMAIN_SERVER_HOST_3=DOMAIN
AP_DOMAIN_SERVER_HOST_4=8080

AP_SERVICES_BOOLEAN_1=1
AP_SERVICES_BOOLEAN_2=1

JAVA_DOT_HOME=
JAVA_EXECUTABLE=

Update the values according to your environment.

Step 2 — Select Components to Install

The components installed are controlled by the following parameter:

CHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST

You can install different components by updating this parameter.

Install Enterprise Manager only

CHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST=ADMIN

Install Domain and CEP

CHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST=DOMAIN,CEP

Install Domain, CEP, and Enterprise Manager

CHOSEN_FEATURE_LIST=DOMAIN,CEP,ADMIN

Modify this parameter depending on the components you want to install.

Step 3 — Run Silent Installation

  1. Open Command Prompt and navigate to the installer directory.

  2. Run the following command:

mpdomain.exe -i silent

The installation will run in the background without launching any installation windows.

Properties File Location

If the installer.properties file is located in the same directory as the installer, you do not need to specify the file name in the command.

Example:

mpdomain.exe -i silent

If the file is located in a different directory, specify the path:

mpdomain.exe -i silent -f C:\path\installer.properties
