Install from the command line

You can install the UiPath desktop clients with the UiPath Platform Installer (UiPathPlatform.msi) from the command line, in either full interactive or fully silent mode, using the supported MSI parameters. Silent mode is intended for unattended deployments. For the interactive installation, see Install the desktop clients.

Syntax

msiexec /i UiPathPlatform.msi [PARAMETER=value ...] [/qn]

Parameters are passed as PARAMETER=value pairs after the package path. Enclose values that contain spaces in double quotes.

Installation modes

Mode	Umschalten (Switch)	Beschreibung
Full interactive	(omit)	Runs the installation wizard with full UI. The user sees progress and any prompts.
Fully silent	/qn	Runs with no user interface and no dialogs. Required for unattended deployments.

Hinweis:

Use /qn for unattended installs. Partial-UI modes (/qb, /qr) are not supported for unattended scenarios, because the installer may still display blocking dialogs.

Supported parameters

Parameter	Values	Standard	Beschreibung
FORCE_PERUSER	1	–	Forces a per-user installation even when the current user is an administrator.
CHANNEL	Channel name (for example, sts)	sts	Update channel the platform follows.
PLATFORM_CONFIGURATION_FILE	Absolute file path	–	Path to a products configuration file applied during installation.
UPDATER_CONFIGURATION_FILE	Absolute file path	–	Path to an updater-specific configuration file applied during installation.
TELEMETRY_ENABLED	1 = enabled, 0 = disabled	enabled	Controls whether telemetry data is sent.
INSTALLER_LANGUAGE	de, en, es, es-MX, fr, ja, ko, pt-BR, pt, ro, ru, tr, zh-CN, zh-TW	System language	UI language of the installation wizard. No effect in silent mode.

Installation scope

The installer defaults to a per-user installation. When run by an administrator in interactive mode, it is automatically promoted to a per-machine installation.

Hinweis:

UiPath recommends a per-machine installation, which keeps the desktop clients available to all users and managed centrally.

• To force per-user even for an administrator, pass FORCE_PERUSER=1.
• For a per-machine installation, run msiexec from an elevated (administrator) command prompt. A silent installation is not automatically promoted to per-machine.

Beispiele

Interactive installation

Default channel, full wizard:

msiexec /i UiPathPlatform.msi

Specific channel and configuration file:

msiexec /i UiPathPlatform.msi CHANNEL=sts PLATFORM_CONFIGURATION_FILE="C:\Config\platformConfig.json"

Force per-user for an administrator:

msiexec /i UiPathPlatform.msi FORCE_PERUSER=1

Automatische Installation

Per-user, default channel:

msiexec /i UiPathPlatform.msi /qn

Silent install with a specific channel, configuration file, and telemetry disabled:

msiexec /i UiPathPlatform.msi CHANNEL=sts PLATFORM_CONFIGURATION_FILE="C:\Config\platformConfig.json" TELEMETRY_ENABLED=0 /qn

Clean install behind a corporate proxy (proxy supplied through the updater configuration file):

msiexec /i UiPathPlatform.msi UPDATER_CONFIGURATION_FILE="C:\Config\updaterConfig.json" /qn

Konfigurationsdateien

platformConfig.json (PLATFORM_CONFIGURATION_FILE)

Selects which desktop clients to install and any product-specific parameters.

{
  "Packages": [
    {
      "PackageName": "Studio",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {
        "INSTALL_ROBOTJS": "true",
        "SERVICE_URL": "https://cloud.uipath.com/org/tenant/orchestrator_"
      }
    },
    {
      "PackageName": "BrowserExtensions",
      "InstallRequested": true,
      "Parameters": {
        "INSTALL_CHROME_EXTENSION": "true",
        "INSTALL_EDGE_EXTENSION": "true"
      }
    }
  ]
}

updaterConfig.json (UPDATER_CONFIGURATION_FILE)

Configures the updater. This is where proxy settings are provided. On a per-machine installation the proxy is persisted for system-wide use.

Minimal proxy configuration:

{
  "Proxy": {
    "ProxyAddress": "http://proxy.corp:8080",
    "BypassLocalAddresses": true
  }
}

Proxy with authentication and a bypass list:

{
  "Proxy": {
    "ProxyAddress": "http://proxy.corp:8080",
    "BypassList": "localhost;*.corp.local",
    "BypassLocalAddresses": true,
    "UserName": "proxyuser",
    "Password": "proxypassword",
    "Domain": "CORP"
  }
}

Alternatively, a proxy auto-config (PAC) script can be used instead of a fixed address:

{
  "Proxy": {
    "ScriptAddress": "http://proxy.corp/proxy.pac"
  }
}

Hinweis:

ProxyAddress and ScriptAddress are mutually exclusive. If UserName is set, Password must also be set.
