Installing Deadline on WIndows from command line

Hi,

I’m trying to get deadline intalled completely from the commandline including add a user name for the windows service. I have seen in the instructions that you can use an option file but there is no instructions how to use one.

Many Thanks
Mark

I normally use ansible to install, but I think deadline uses ini style options, so prob. it would be something like this:

DeadlineClient-10.x.x.x-windows-installer.exe --optionfile options.txt

Contents of options.txt e.g.:

repositorydir=path-to-my-repo
serviceuser=DOMAIN\deadline
servicepassword=mypassword

You should be able to get the options listed by running the installer on the CLI with --help (it will pop up a window tho).

Here is how we do it from the command line without an options file (options differ slightly on Linux)

DeadlineClient-10.1.19.4-windows-installer.exe --mode unattended --proxyrootdir 10.1.20.130:8081 --connectiontype Repository --repositorydir //mothership/DeadlineRepository10 --licenseserver {{ license_server }} --serviceuser \"SVC_Deadline\" --servicepassword \"DeadlinePass\" --launcherservice true
