Silent Installation MFT Gateway Agent - Windows

This section describes how to perform a silent installation of the MFT Gateway Agent application. The part of the installation that is silenced is the user Interface (interactive portion). The installer must be placed on the target MFT Gateway Agent system, in a directory of your choosing.

Below is a list of Windows CMD commands that will perform a silent installation. Please run them in the order in which they are listed. They can be run in a .cmd script. The script should be “run as administrator”.

Command: cd\<MFT Gateway Agent installer location>

This command changes the directory to the location of the MFT Gateway Agent installer. The directory will depend on where the end-user placed the installation file.

Example: cd\InstallerDirectory

Command: <MFT Gateway Agent installer> -q -dir <Installation Directory>

This command runs the installer (executable file) and copies the installation files into the installation directory specified.

Example: mft-gateway-agent-install-x64-5.3.0.130.exe -q -dir "c:\Program Files\MFT Gateway Agent"

Note: Program Files\MFT Gateway Agent is the default installation directory when performing an interactive installation. You can change it as desired. Quotes must be used if the installation directory name contains spaces.

Command: cd\<Installation directory>

This command changes the directory to installation directory specified in the prior command

Example: cd\Program Files\MFT Gateway Agent

Command: configuration.exe -host <host/IP> -port <server port number> -user <Agent user name> -password <Agent password> -failover.host <failover server host/IP> -failover.port <failover server port number>

Example: configuration.exe -host 192.168.1.87 -port 30025 -user Admin -password secret -failover.host 192.168.1.24 -failover.port 30091

Note: The default MFT Gateway Agent port is 30025. Failover options only need to be specified if an MFT Gateway failover environment is configured.
