Standard Install
"path\to\Genesis R&D Setup-#.#.#.exe" CUSTOMERNUMBER=XXXXX LICENSESTRING=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX [INSTALLFOLDER="\path\in\quotes"] [/silent] [/passive]
Client Only

If you have a SQL connection string you can use that instead of specifying the server named and database name. Use SQLCONNECTIONSTRING= instead of DATABASENAME= and INSTANCENAME=
"path\to\Genesis R&D Setup-#.#.#.exe" CUSTOMERNUMBER=XXXXX LICENSESTRING=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX SQLCONNECTIONSTRING="some=connection;string=in;quotes;" [INSTALLFOLDER="\path\in\quotes"] INSTALLSERVER= [/silent] [/passive]
Server Only
"path\to\Genesis R&D Setup-#.#.#.exe" CUSTOMERNUMBER=XXXXX LICENSESTRING=XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX [INSTALLFOLDER="\path\in\quotes"] INSTALLCLIENT= [/silent] [/passive]
Example client installation:
"c:\temp\Genesis R&D Setup-11.4.470.exe" CUSTOMERNUMBER=12345 LICENSESTRING=1234-1234-1234-1234-1234-1234-1234-1234 DATABASENAME="gendata" INSTANCENAME="Server\ESHA" INSTALLSERVER= INSTALLDBUtil= /silent
For version 11.3 and earlier versions follow the instructions below
NOTE: You will likely need the full download, and not the web download. Let us know and we can give you a link to download it.
NOTE: You must have .Net 4.5.2 installed prior to running this command line install. You can download .NET 4.5.2 here
NOTE: The installation must be ran from an Administrative command prompt.
This is specifically for installing the client only. You will need an existing database hosted on a server for this to work. This will not work as a stand alone install.
- Extract the MSI from the bootstrapper:
"C:\path\to\Genesis+R%26D+Full+Setup.exe " /EXTRACTMSI:"c:\path\to\Genesis+R%26D+Full+Setup.msi" - Create a UDL file. Enter your connection information and make sure the Test Connection succeeds. Then save the UDL file and open it in Notepad. Save the "Connection String"
- Run the windows installer package:
msiexec /i "c:\path\to\Genesis+R%26D+Full+Setup.msi" /qn CUSTOMERNUM=<customer number> SERIALKEY=<serial key including dashes> DBCONNECTIONSTRING="<connection string from the UDL file>" ADDLOCAL=Client /l*v "%temp%\EshaInstallCommandLine.log" - Run the CrystalReports installer package:
