Dell™ QuickSet
August 2007
This README discusses silent installation of the Dell™ QuickSet application on computers
running the Microsoft® Windows Vista™ 32-bit and 64-bit operating systems. It is intended for
system administrators deploying QuickSet on multiple computers without user interaction.
QuickSet uses industry-standard Microsoft® Windows® Installer (MSI) technology to perform
installations, upgrades, modifications, and uninstallations. By applying MSI engine parameters,
administrators can set up and customize QuickSet through the MSI command-line interface.
Using MSI Command-Line Parameters
Administrators can use the QuickSet-MSI command-line interface (CLI) to install, modify, or
remove QuickSet features in unattended mode. A basic MSI installation of QuickSet entails entering
the following command:
msiexec.exe /i QuickSet.msi /gn
This command installs all QuickSet features on each computer based on the computer's hardware
configuration. The installation proceeds silently as an express installation. Default features of
QuickSet include: (depending on computer hardware)
+ Mobility Center tiles
+ Battery status and health meter
+ On-screen display for volume controls and "Fn" function keys
* Gaming LED support
Customized MSI Installation of QuickSet
By customizing installation parameters, administrators can invoke different installation scripts to
selectively install or uninstall QuickSet features on different computers using the same installation
package, QuickSet .msi. The ADDLOCAL and REMOVE CLI parameters allow administrators to
customize specific QuickSet features for silent or non-silent (dialog boxes displayed) unattended
installation or uninstallation,
command-line:
msiexec.exe /i QuickSet.msi {/an | /ar | /qb)}
[ADDLOCAL=featurel, feature? | ALL] [REMOVE-featurel, feature2...
ALL] [REBOOT=ReallySuppress
ADDLOCAL: Add specific features or all features
