Windows Silent Install
Table of contents
Overview
It is possible to install/uninstall DBeaver in silent mode using the Windows Installer command line parameters.
This might be beneficial for mass install automation (SSCM and other similar systems).
Parameters
Command line parameters supported by DBeaver installer/uninstaller:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
/S | Enables silent mode. Requires either /allusers or /currentuser. Case-sensitive. |
/D=path | Sets the installation directory. This parameter must be the last one used and is case-sensitive. No quotes needed. |
/allusers | Installs or uninstalls the software for all users. Case-insensitive. |
/currentuser | Installs or uninstalls the software for the current user only. Case-insensitive. |
For install
To install DBeaver, navigate to the directory where the installer is located and append the desired parameters to the command:
For instance:
C:\Program Files\DBeaver> [parameters]
Note: To install with the
/allusersparameter the current user must have the administrator's permission.
For uninstall
To uninstall DBeaver, use the Uninstaller.exe from the DBeaver directory with the required parameters:
For instance:
C:\Program Files\DBeaver>Uninstaller.exe [parameters]
