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