ABBYY Lingvo x3 System Administrator’s Guide

Setup.exe /j

The program icon will appear in the workstation Start menu. Clicking this icon automatically installs the program in the default configuration.

Silent installation

For silent installation, type

Setup.exe /qn

In the case of Silent installation, no InstallShield Wizard dialog boxes are displayed and the program is installed from the server in default configuration. Default configuration means the installation when all ABBYY Lingvo x3 interface languages are installed automatically depending on the interface language selected based on the workstation’s regional settings. Note: Change “/qn” to “/qb” if you want an installation progress bar to be displayed. No other dialog boxes will be displayed.

Additional command–line options for Silent installation

/L<language code> disables automatic selection of ABBYY Lingvo x3 interface language and installs the program with the interface language specified in the command line. Possible language code* values:

1033 English 1031 German 1049 Russian 1058 Ukrainian 1036 French

* The number of available interface languages depends on the type of your distribution package. /V"<command line>" transfers the specified command line directly to msiexec.exe, where instead of the <command line> you can specify the following: INSTALLDIR="<destination path>" specifies the path to the folder where ABBYY Lingvo x3 will be installed.
