A Congree installation configured in the Deployment Assistant and other installation-related actions can also be performed as an unattended installation.



Hint

For software packaging on clients, please only use the so-called "Lite" version of the Congree Deployment Assistant. A description of the two versions can be found here: Comparison Deployment Assistant - Deployment Assistant Lite

Requirements

First Step for All Actions

  • Open the command prompt with administrator rights.

  • In the command prompt, go to the directory containing the Deployment Assistant executable.

To see all possible parameters for running the Deployment Assistant at at glance, execute Congree-Deployment-Assistant-[version]-x86.exe /?.

How to Check the System Requirements

To check even before the installation whether your system meets the Congree system requirements, execute Congree-Deployment-Assistant-[version]-x86.exe /sysreq [name of the configuration host].
