Upgrade in silent mode

You can upgrade the software in Silent mode.

Note
If your system is in Enabled or Disabled mode, you can upgrade in the current mode. In Enabled mode, you can upgrade the software on all supported Windows platforms. Before using a software distribution tool to upgrade in Enabled mode, assign updater rights to all relevant binary files. To assign updater rights to a file, use the updaters add <binary file> command.

Log on to the system with administrator rights.
Verify that the required installer is available.
Open a command window and switch to Update mode.
> sadmin begin-update

Run one of these commands.

<installer-file> /s /v" /qn

Notice the double quotes (") after /v and space between /s and /v. There is no space between /v and double quotes ("). Here is a description of all possible arguments for the command. You can optionally specify one or more of these arguments.

Argument	Description
`SHORTCUT`	Create a desktop shortcut to access the command-line tool. Possible values for this argument are 0 and 1. Specify a value of 1 to create the shortcut and 0 to skip the shortcut creation. `<installer-file> /s /v" /qn UNLICVER=1 SHORTCUT=1"`
`POSTINSTALL`	Specify a file to perform post-installation configuration on the system. To specify file paths that contain spaces, enclose the paths in double quotes ("). `<installer-file> /s /v" /qn UNLICVER=1 POSTINSTALL=\"C:\\My Dir\\batch.exe\""`
`INSTALLDIR`	Install the software at a user-specified location. With this argument, you can specify a folder path of up to 240 characters (total string length including special characters). `<installer-file> /s /v" /qn SERIALNUMBER=xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx INSTALLDIR=\"C:\\My Dir\\McAfee\\Solidcore\""`
`/l+*v`	Change the default location of the Solidcore_Installer.log file. By default, this file is placed in the SYSTEMROOT directory. `<installer-file> /s /v" /qn UNLICVER=1 /l+*v \"C:\\Solidcore_Installer.log\""`

Restart the system to complete the upgrade.
Exit Update mode.
