You can try running the Notes Tools installs via the command line and silently in the following manner.

 

1) You will need to download the most recent version of our Notes Tools.exe installer available from our website.

2) Using the Notes Tools.exe you then need to construct the command line syntax with the variables for the environment in which you are installing the tools.

3) This is an example line you can use if, for example, you have deployed the Notes Tools.exe to the same folder where you will be running the command from.

Example: Install CIAO and Profiler.

"Notes Tools.exe" /qn APPDIR="c:\desiredpath" NOTES_EXE_DIR="c:\program files (x86)\ibm\notes\" NOTES_INI_DIR="c:\program files (x86)\ibm\notes\" NOTES_DATA_DIR="c:\program files (x86)\ibm\notes\data\" ADDLOCAL=CIAO,TeamstudioProfiler

Example: Remove CIAO and Profiler.

"Notes Tools.exe" /qn APPDIR="c:\desiredpath" NOTES_EXE_DIR="c:\program files (x86)\ibm\notes\" NOTES_INI_DIR="c:\program files (x86)\ibm\notes\" NOTES_DATA_DIR="c:\program files (x86)\ibm\notes\data\" REMOVE=CIAO,TeamstudioProfiler

 

You can reconstruct your own command line install as above using the following variables:

"Notes Tools.exe" /qn - Specifies where the Tools Installer file is located and how it is named.

APPDIR="DesiredPath" - Specifies where you would like the Teamstudio component files installed.  By default, this goes to /Program Files/Teamstudio/.

NOTES_EXE_DIR="Notes EXE Folder" - Where your Notes client executable folder is located.   

NOTES_DATA_DIR="Notes Data Folder" - Where your Notes client data folder is located.

NOTES_INI_DIR="Notes .ini Folder" - Where your Notes .ini file is located.

The final part of the line syntax you will stipulate either an install as ADDLOCAL= or an uninstall using REMOVE= in combination with whichever products you want to specify as below.   Please note you can specify multiple products by separating them with a "," (Comma).

Product names for use with ADDLOCAL and REMOVE variables:

TeamstudioAnalyzer,CIAO,TeamstudioConfigurator,TeamstudioDelta,TeamstudioDesignManager,TeamstudioProfiler,TeamstudioUndo,TeamstudioValidator.
