CCS/CODECOMPOSER: Silent Install for CCS 9?

Andrew Marx

Part Number: CODECOMPOSER

Tool/software: Code Composer Studio

Searching the forums, I was able to find some hints for CCS 5, 6, and 7, but nothing seems to be working for 9.

I'm using SCCM to push Code Composer out to our computer labs, and no mix of option switches seem to be working.  Apparently, the way the installer unzips into a randomly named temp directory, I can't push out a blanket firewall rule to cover tclsh.exe.  Our policies prevent me from fully disabling the firewall as I found in another installer script.  The only thing I can think of is to have it perform a non-silent install that an admin can log on and click Allow for the firewall rule while the installation is running.  However, I'd still like to provide an options file so that the selected install options are consistent.

--mode unattended --unattendedmodeui minimal --optionfile options.txt

is the closest I've gotten to 'working' - I at least get a response telling me it's unzipping, but then the installer goes nowhere.  I recorded the option file using --save-response-file.  --mode win32 displays the splash image and then quits.

Can anyone kindly provide some guidance for getting this to work?

    Andrew,

    I did the following.

    I ran the installer with these parameters:

    ccs_setup_win64_9.0.0.0018.exe --save-response-file c:\ti\response.txt --skip-install true

    I made my installation selections in the GUI.

    It then created the response.txt file with my selections

    I then ran this command

    ccs_setup_win64_9.0.0.0018.exe --response-file c:\ti\response.txt --mode unattended

    This is currently installing for me.  Not finished yet but I can see it installing.

    Regards,

    John

    Of course -- leave it to TI to change the arguments without updating the installer's built-in help.  I've been trying --optionfile because that's what the installer told me to do...  Yes, thank you for that: --response-file works.

    Now if I can only get this firewall exception figured out...

    I have filed CCDSK-3645 to track updating the --help documentation to include the response file information.  That option has been around since v6.0.0 I believe as the reference I found was using 6.0.1.

    Much appreciated.  I wasn't finding anything from searching for 'code composer silent install'.  There was an old post on ITNinja mentioning --response-file, but that seemed old enough that I didn't try it.  I've found a lot of companies don't mention silent installers in their installation documentation (not just from terse --help responses) -- more mysteries for me to solve :)
