v9 U1 Silent install - issues unpacking

Post by mwpreston »

Wondering if someone can give me a hand here - don't know if it's just me not doing this properly or if something is missing...

Trying to unpack update 1 in order to perform a silent install, however whatever I do I can't seem to get the package to extract via command line....

"c:\downloads\VeeamBackup&Replication_9.0.0.1491_Update1.exe" /q /c /t:c:\VeeamData\v9u1\unpacked

^^^ this is still popping up the GUI on me - it's worked in previous versions so wondering if something has changed, something is missing, or if I'm just going crazy :)

thanks

Mike,

The one you posted is for extracting the update. To start the install you need this command:

Code: Select all

%path_to_tmp_folder%\HotFixRunner.exe [silent][noreboot][log <log_path>][VBR_AUTO_UPGRADE=1]
Additional command-line options are in this article - Installing Updates in Unattended Mode

Thanks...

My problem is with extracting the update though - that command is always popping up the update gui...

Looks like a bug since I got exactly same behavior in my lab. Can you submit a support case - while I contact our QA team?

Mike,

I've reached the QA team and it seems that Help Center article was not properly updated. In v9 the syntax was changed a bit and the ‘unpack’ step is no longer needed. Try commad to install update in silen mode:

Code: Select all

c:\downloads\VeeamBackup&Replication_9.0.0.1491_Update1.exe /silent /noreboot /log c:\downloads\patch.log VBR_AUTO_UPGRADE=1

Update: KB article has been corrected to reflect the proper syntax in the latest version. Thanks Mike!
