Sigmaplot 14.5 Silent Mode Installation/Uninstallation

There are two approaches for silent mode installation with the command line.

  1. Silent Install Tool (recommended)
  2. MSI Installer

The same approach used for installation should be followed for uninstallation as well. Please note that the silent uninstallation will only work if SigmaPlot has been installed in silent mode. If SigmaPlot was installed thru UI mode or a regular product installer, you need to use the same approach for uninstallation.

1. Silent Install Tool

The Silent Install Tool can be used for 3 types of activities:

1A. INSTALL – For Installation

1B. UNINSTALL – For Uninstallation

1C. SHOW (UN) INSTALLCMD, – Just to display the command, which can be used to execute MSI.

The Silent Install Tool package can be downloaded from this address:
www.systat.de/Transfer/SPW_14_5_SilentInstaller.zip.

The downloaded ZIP package contains two files: SPW_14_5_SilentInstaller.exe and SilentInstaller.bat.

The MSI file is included in the SPW14_5_Net.zip file which can be downloaded from the https://systatsoftware.com/networkusers/ page.) All three files should go into the same folder. This utility (SPW_14_5_SilentInstaller.exe) must be executed in a command window opened in administrator mode (Right-click > Run as administrator).

The SilentInstaller.bat batch file should not be executed directly:
SPW_14_5_SilentInstaller.exe will execute the batch file with the required parameters.

Note: Syntax guideline information will be displayed by using the keywords /? or HELP

Example

  • SPW_14_5_SilentInstaller.exe /?
  • SPW_14_5_SilentInstaller.exe /HELP

It needs cpprest120_xp_2_9.dll, hasp_windows_107466.dll, and haspds_windows.dll (in the same directory). So this tool must be executed from the SPW14_5 program directory.

Command lines

  • SPW_14_5_LicenseUtility_cmd.exe CMDLINE="LICENSETYPE=PRODUCTKEY KEY=xxxx LOGFOLDERPATH=zzzz"
  • SPW_14_5_LicenseUtility_cmd.exe CMDLINE="LICENSETYPE=V2CFILE FILE=yyyy LOGFOLDERPATH=zzzz"

Parameters in the above syntax

  • /? Displays expected license apply syntax. This is the same as not typing any options.
  • CMDLINE: This is a mandatory beginning keyword followed by valid license arguments.
  • LICENSETYPE: This refers to an applying license type either by product key or v2c file.
  • PRODUCTKEY: This keyword for LICENSETYPE mentions that the applying license type is product key.
  • V2CFILE: This keyword for LICENSETYPE mentions that the applying license type is v2c file.

The License Manager installation files are included in the SPW14_5_Net.zip file which can be downloaded from the https://systatsoftware.com/networkusers/ page. The command-line installation file called haspdinst.exe is part of the package.

There is also a copy of the file in the program directory of the SigmaPlot 14.5 installed folder. Please copy it to a directory on the License Manager machine.
