Modifying a UEC Installation via the Command Line

Modifying a Universal Enterprise Controller Installation via the Windows Installer Command Line Interface​

This page describes how to modify a Universal Enterprise Controller installation via the Windows Installer command line.

After Universal Enterprise Controller is installed, Windows Installer can be run as many times as needed to modify the installation by:

  • Adding or Removing Universal Enterprise Controller Components
  • Repairing a Corrupted Universal Enterprise Controller Installation
  • Removing a Universal Enterprise Controller Installation

(For a description of the parameters used in these procedures, see Windows Installer Command Line Parameters.)

Adding or Removing Universal Enterprise Controller Components​

Currently, it only is possible to add or remove Universal Enterprise Controller components using the Windows Installer graphical interface (see Modifying a UEC Installation via the Graphical Interface).

Repairing a Corrupted Universal Enterprise Controller Installation​

To recover accidentally deleted files or registry entries required by Universal Enterprise Controller using the Windows Installer command line interface, use the /f switch together with the om parameters.

These are the same repair options set internally by the graphical interface installation. They cause Windows Installer to reinstall files that are missing or older than the version contained in the Universal Enterprise Controller distribution file.

Silent Repair​

To repair a Universal Enterprise Controller installation from the command line, issue the following command:

msiexec.exe /fom SetupPath\UECtlr.msi /q
Interactive Repair, with Log File​

To repair a Universal Enterprise Controller installation using the Windows Installer graphical interface, and instruct Windows Installer to write a log file to C:\Temp\repair.log while running the repair, issue the following command:

msiexec.exe /fom SetupPath\UECtlr.msi /L C:\Temp\repair.log

Removing a Universal Enterprise Controller Installation​

To uninstall Universal Enterprise Controller using the Windows Installer command line interface, use the /x switch.

Silent Removal​

To uninstall Universal Enterprise Controller without using the Windows Installer graphical interface, issue the following command:

msiexec.exe /x SetupPath\UECtlr.msi /q
