Silent Installation

Silent Installation

The installer supports unattended deployment through System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM), Intune, a mobile data terminal (MDT), or any tool that can launch an executable as Administrator.

Syntax

Enter the following syntax into your tool:
NucleusConnector.exe /S /CONFIG=<path-to-ncfg> [/LOG=<log-path>] [/D=<install-dir>]

Flags

Flag
Required
Description
/S
Yes
Silent mode; no user interface is shown.
/CONFIG=<path>
Yes
Path to the .ncfg enrollment file to deploy. Required in silent mode.
/LOG=<path>
No
Writes a transcript of install milestones to this path, including a success or failure marker at the end. Also valid in interactive mode.
/D=<install-dir>
No
Overrides the default install directory. Must be the last argument and must not be quoted, even if the path contains spaces (standard NSIS convention).
/? or /HELP
No
Displays a usage dialog and exits without installing. Auto-dismisses in silent mode.

Exit codes

Code
Meaning
0
Install succeeded.
2
Install was aborted mid-run (for example extraction failure, SDK install failure, or startup registration failure). Check the
/LOG=
 transcript for the cause.
3
/CONFIG=
 was not provided in silent mode.
4
The path provided to
/CONFIG=
 does not exist.
Exit codes 3 and 4 are returned before the install starts and before the
/LOG=
 file is opened, so no log entry is written for those cases. Use the exit code as the diagnostic.

Examples

NucleusConnector.exe /S /CONFIG=C:\Deploy\site-42.ncfg
NucleusConnector.exe /S /CONFIG=C:\Deploy\site-42.ncfg /LOG=C:\Deploy\install.log
NucleusConnector.exe /S /CONFIG=C:\Deploy\site-42.ncfg /D=D:\Zebra\Nucleus
