Installing Enterprise Vault (command line)
The command line installation enables you to do the following:
Perform a silent installation of Enterprise Vault.
Run the installation wizard with pre-populated default values.
Repair, modify, or remove an existing installation.
To install Enterprise Vault

\Veritas Enterprise Vault\Server - Run
setup (x64).exewith the required parameters. See below for details of the parameters.
"setup (x64).exe" /v"COMPONENTS=Option[|Option][...]"
For a silent installation:
start /wait "" "setup (x64).exe" /s /clone_wait /v"COMPONENTS=Option[|Option][...]"
/s | Optional. Silent installation. Must be used with the /wait and /clone_wait parameters. Install Enterprise Vault with the default options. You can use other command line options to override the default values. If you omit this parameter, the installation wizard starts. You can use other command line options to override the wizard's defaults. By overriding the default values you can click through the wizard without the need to select different options. |
/wait | Mandatory if using the /s parameter for a silent installation. |
/clone_wait | Mandatory if using the /s parameter for a silent installation. |
/v | Mandatory. Introduces command options. Use double quotes around the complete option string. For individual options, use a backslash followed by a double quote to delimit any option that contains a space or a backlash. For example: LOGFILE=\"C:\EV.log\" LOGFILE=\"C:\My Logs\EV.log\" |
Use a vertical bar (|) to separate multiple options. For example:
/v"COMPONENTS=VAULT|SMTP"
The options can be any of the following:
BESTPRACTICE | Controls whether to use best practice settings. Possible values are as follows: BESTPRACTICE=0. Do not use best practice settings BESTPRACTICE=1 (default). Use best practice settings |
DOMINOPARTITIONS | Specifies the Domino partitions in which you want to install the Enterprise Vault Domino Gateway software. Use a vertical bar to separate multiple partitions. For example, to install into Domino partitions 1 and 2: DOMINOPARTITIONS=1|2 |
ENABLEFEATURES | Controls whether the installer automatically installs all the Windows features and roles that are required by an Enterprise Vault server. Possible values are as follows: ENABLEFEATURES=0 (default). The installer does not install Windows features and roles. ENABLEFEATURES=1.The installer automatically installs all the required Windows features and roles. See Windows features enabled by the Prepare My System option. |
INSTALLDIR | The folder in which to install. The default folder is |
LOGFILE | The path to the installation log file. The default path is |
COMPONENTS | This is a mandatory option when you install. The components can be any of the following:

Best practice settings: Use best practice settings
Installation log location:
%temp%\EVInstall.log
To install the VAULT component with the default options:
start /wait "" "setup (x64).exe" /s /clone_wait /v"COMPONENTS=VAULT"
To start the installation wizard with the default options, but with the installation log file in D:\Logs\EVinstall.log:
"setup (x64).exe" /v"LOGFILE=\"D:\Logs\EVinstall.log\""
To install the VAULT component in folder D:\myVault:
"setup (x64).exe" /v"INSTALLDIR=\"D:\myVault\" COMPONENTS=VAULT"
To install the VAULT component with the default options but with the installation log file in D:\Logs\EVinstall.log:
start /wait "" "setup (x64).exe" /s /clone_wait /v"LOGFILE=\"D:\Logs\EVinstall.log\" COMPONENTS=VAULT"
