X64 Xcelera-HS PX8 User's Manual Installing X64 Xcelera-HS PX8 • 15Requirements for a Silent InstallBoth Sapera LT and the X64 Xcelera-HS PX8 driver installations share the same installertechnology. When the installations of Teledyne DALSA products are embedded within a third party’sproduct installation, the mode can either have user interaction or be completely silent. Thefollowing installation mode descriptions apply to both Sapera and the hardware driver.Note: You must reboot after the installation of Sapera LT. However, to streamline the installationprocess, Sapera LT can be installed without rebooting before installing the board hardware devicedrivers. The installations then complete with a single final system reboot.Perform Teledyne DALSA embedded installations in either of these two ways: Normal ModeThe default mode is interactive. This is identical to running the setup.exe program manuallyfrom Windows (either run from Windows Explorer or the Windows command line). Silent ModeThis mode requires no user interaction. A preconfigured “response” file provides the user input.The installer displays nothing.Silent Mode InstallationA Silent Mode installation is recommended when integrating Teledyne DALSA products into yoursoftware installation. The silent installation mode allows the device driver installation to proceedwithout the need for mouse clicks or other input from a user.Preparing a Silent Mode Installation requires two steps: Prepare the response file, which emulates a user. Invoke the device driver installer with command options to use the prepared response file.Creating a Response FileCreate the installer response file by performing a device driver installation with a command lineswitch "-r". The response file is automatically named setup.iss and is saved in the \windowsfolder. If a specific directory is desired, the switch –f1 is used.As an example, to save a response file in the same directory as the installation executable of theX64 Xcelera-HS PX8, the command line would be:X64_Xcelera-HS_PX8_1.00.00.0000 –r –f1”.\setup.iss”Running a Silent Mode InstallationA device driver silent installation, whether done alone or within a larger software installationrequires the device driver executable and the generated response file setup.iss.Execute the device driver installer with the following command line:X64_Xcelera-HS_PX8_1.00.00.0000 -s -f1".\setup.iss"Where the –s switch specifies the silent mode and the –f1 switch specifies the location of theresponse file. In this example, the switch –f1".\setup.iss" specifies that the setup.iss file be in thesame folder as the device driver installer.Note: On Windows Vista and 7, the Windows Security dialog box will appear unless one hasalready notified Windows to ‘Always trust software from “DALSA Corp.” during a previousinstallation of a driver.
