Installing BlueZone in quiet mode

Install BlueZone for the desktop using the standard installation method.
Refer to Installing BlueZone for more information.
Start the BlueZone emulation clients that you need for you application and create your BlueZone configuration files. Configure the configuration files to connect to your host systems and are ready to be used by your users. Save these configurations to your BlueZone working directory or some other convenient location your computer.
Refer to Configuring BlueZone for more information.
Optional: Create the necessary BlueZone desktop shortcut files.
Refer to Creating BlueZone desktop shortcuts for more information.
Create a BlueZone distribution image.
This step is not mandatory, however, by creating a distribution image, you eliminate unnecessary BlueZone files and install only the BlueZone files that are necessary for your particular installation.

Refer to Creating a distribution image for more information.
Optional: Copy the following files to the distribution image:
- Configuration files
- Script files
- Desktop shortcuts
Edit the setup.ini file and make any necessary changes.
By editing this file, you are able to control exactly how and where BlueZone is installed.

Refer to Edit the setup.ini file and Default setup.ini file for more information.
Open a DOS command window and type:
msiexec /i BlueZone.msi QUIET_INSTALL=1 ADDLOCAL=ALL

Refer to MSI command line switch support for more information.

Note: You can also install BlueZone VBA by itself using the following command:
msiexec /i BlueZoneVBA.msi QUIET_INSTALL=1

This command assumes that the bzvba.cab file has been copied to the BZ install image folder.

BlueZone Plus VBA is a separately licensed product and is not a component of the standard BlueZone Terminal Emulation Suite. Contact BlueZone sales for information about upgrading to BlueZone Plus VBA.

BlueZone installs quietly, and very quickly, without displaying any windows. If you enabled any desktop shortcuts, they automatically display on the desktop at the end of the installation process.

BlueZone configuration files are automatically placed in the All Users common folder:

C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\BlueZone\Config

When a user starts BlueZone for the first time, any BlueZone configuration files that were copied to the \All Users\Application Data\BlueZone\Config folder, are automatically copied to the location that was specified in the setup.ini file. The default location is for the users working files to be stored in their My Documents folder.

This feature is helpful when you are pushing out a BlueZone installation image to many computers and you want each user's working files to be stored in their own My Documents folder even if multiple users use the same machine.
