NiceLabel installs using the InstallAware. This allows you to use some command-line switches that control the functionalities of your installations.
For example, you can use the switches for the silent install. In this case, the installation runs in the background, and no dialog boxes are displayed. You can also enable logging of the installation process.
Note
-
For NiceLabel 2019, rename executables from NiceLabel10*.exe into NiceLabel2019.exe.
-
For NiceLabel 2017, rename executables from NiceLabel10*.exe into NiceLabel2017.exe.
-
Silent install
The installation executes in the background without any dialog box displayed and with default settings.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe /s
-
Silent uninstall
The uninstall executes in the background.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe /s MODIFY=FALSE REMOVE=TRUE UNINSTALL=YES
-
Logging the installation process
To enable logging of .MSI installer, add the name of the log file after the /l parameter.
To enable NiceLabel's internal logging, create an empty file with the name lblinstall.log in %temp% folder of the user, who performs the installation. This type of logging also works for Web Client.
You can enable both logs.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe /l="C:\InstallLog.txt"
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe /l
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe /l /l="C:\InstallLog.txt"
-
Install location
The target folder, where NiceLabel will be installed into.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe TARGETDIR="c:\MyFolder"
-
Install desktop icons
Switch that controls the appearance of the desktop icons.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe ICONDESKTOP=FALSE
-
Installation of specific modules
You can choose to install the Desktop Designer module, Print (Runtime) module, and Automation module.
-
Note: if you disable Print (Runtime) module, you must also disable Desktop Designer module.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe DESIGNER=FALSE RUNTIME=FALSE AUTOMATION=TRUE
-
Define your license key
When you provide the license key in the command line, NiceLabel doesn't prompt you during installation. The license key also determines the modules for installation. For example, installing Designer Pro doesn't install the Automation module (as it is not available in the Designer Pro product).
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe LICENSECODE=12345abcde12345abcde12345
-
Running Automation Service under a user account
You can provide the user name of the system under which the Automation service will run.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe SERVICEUSER=domain\username SERVICEPASSWORD=password
-
Running Automation Sevice under the Local System account
Note: To have access to network shared resources, it is best practice to run Automation Service under real user account.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe USERSYSTEMACCOUNT=TRUE
-
The language selected for user interface strings in installer and application.
The available languages are Chinese (PRC), Chinese (Taiwan), Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Lithuanian, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese (Brazil), Russian, Slovak, Slovenian, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Ukrainian.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms.exe "LANGUAGE=Chinese (PRC)" NiceLabelWebClientSetup.exe LANGUAGE=French
-
Changing product suffixes to the installer file name.
You can add other suffixes to configure the installation process.
You can add the ID of the product: "_Express" or "_Pro" to install modules belonging to the specific product. For example, you want to install the Desktop Designer and Runtime modules, but not the Automation.
NiceLabel10_Express.exe NiceLabel10_Pro.exe
-
Adding partner's UID number in the installer file name.
Digital marketing and OEM distributions use UID numbers to include the partner's logo in NiceLabel products.
You can combine UID with other suffixes in the file name, but UID must be the last parameter in form of "_99999". Write UID as 5-digit number.
NiceLabel10_PowerForms_99999.exe
