v9 U1 Silent install - issues unpacking

[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...

Let me run a quick test - I'll follow up shortly.

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?

will do - thanks!

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!
