Via the Command Prompt

To install the software using the Command Prompt (e.g. to perform an unsupervised installation in the background), proceed as follows:

  • The installation file (SmartDataCollector-Setup-X.X.X.msi) has been downloaded from the Online Support page of SEW-EURODRIVE and is available locally.
  • Your user has administrator rights on the computer.
  1. Open the Command Prompt.
  2. In the Command Prompt, switch to the directory in which the installation file is stored. INFORMATION: To install the software without first switching to the directory, replace SmartDataCollector-Setup-X.X.X.msi with msiexec /i "[Datei-Pfad]/SmartDataCollector-Setup-X.X.X.msi" in the command line given in the next step (see example).
  3. Enter the following command line:
    start /wait SmartDataCollector-Setup-X.X.X.msi
    /quiet /norestart /qn
    • start /wait : Process waits for installation to complete
    • /quiet : No command prompts, messages, dialog fields
    • /norestart : No restart after installation
    • /qn : No user interface, but a progress bar
  4. Optionally add one or more of the parameters listed in the following table as examples to the command line. The order of the parameters is not relevant. If a version of the SDC is already installed on the computer and is currently running, the application is stopped and restarted after installation.
