Automated Installation
You can install the StifleR Client interactively, via the MSI wizard based install. This is described in the StifleR Planning and Deployment guide. For the purposes of expediency and testing however, we will install the client using the MSI command line.
For example:
To install the StifleR Client with default settings, in Windows Service Based Mode with a single StifleR server defined , and the URL for the StifleR rules XML download, run the following command line from an elevated command prompt:
The full table showing the available MSI properties, switches, options and defaults can be found in the Planning and Deployment guide.
| MSI Parameter | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
STIFLERSERVERS | The URL and port hosting the StifleR service. | http://yourserverfqdn:1414 |
STIFLERULEZURL | The URL hosting the StifleRulez.xml file. | http://yourserverfqdn/StiflerRules/StifleRulez.xml |
INSTALLDIR | The location in which the program files should be installed. | C:\Program Files\2Pint Software\StifleR Client |
Automated Installation via Script
2Pint has provided an installation script which can be used to automate the installation as well as handle various scenarios which might occur during the installation. The script can be found at the following location:
https://github.com/2pintsoftware/StifleRScripting/tree/master/InstallerScripts/Client
The script implementation includes two files:
StifleR_Client_Installer.ps1
StifleRDefaults.ini
To deploy the script, all of the files and the StifleR.ClientApp.Installer64.msi should be placed in the same folder or content source folder. To customize the client installation for your environment, modify the StifleRDefaults.ini with the settings specific to your environment. To invoke the settings in the StifleRDefaults.ini file, use the following command:
