Unattended client installation

You can install the FAXmaker client in unattended mode. This means that the FAXmaker set-up will install the FAXmaker printer driver and viewer without asking any questions. This allows you to deploy the FAXmaker installation using a group policy, SMS, GFI LANguard N.S.S. or other remote installer software.

To install the FAXmaker client in unattended mode, you need to create a response file, and then run the set-up with the response file as a command line option.

Creating a response file

Run the installation executable with the following command line:

GFI FAXmaker for Exchange

ffnc.exe -a -r -f1"<Full path to snapshot file>"

Omit the triangular brackets but keep the quote marks. When the installation is finished, the snapshot file will have been created in the specified location. The snapshot file can be any name but it is recommended to use the name `setup.iss'. The snapshot file created will be used in all subsequent unattended installations you which to deploy.

Running set-up with a response file

To run the installation in unattended mode, you have to call the installation with the following command line:

ffnc.exe -s -a -s -f1"<Full path to snapshot file>" -l<Language ID>

Omit the triangular brackets but keep the quote marks. The language parameter is optional. By default the language is English. If you want to install in a language other then English, the Language ID field has to be replaced by one of the following numbers depending on which language is desired:

English	0009 (default)
German	0007
Spanish	000a
French	040c
Italian	0010

For example, to install in German:

ffnc.exe -s -a -s -f1"c:\setup.iss" -l0007
