Using Start Parameters

When starting the FastViewer Remote setup, you can directly furnish it with parameters to configure pre-settings for the intended session.

Installation Routine Parameters

The Installation routine (fvwresetup.exe) from FastViewer Remote can be started with the following parameters:

• /folder=xxx
  Folder xxx is created in case the folder does not exist. In this specified folder, the Remote Client will be installed.
• /silent
  The setup is executed without any user interaction. The installation process is visible.
• /verysilent
  The setup is executed without any user interaction. The installation process is not visible. 
• /name
  name = xxx xxx is replaced by the desired name, which is to appear later in the list, e.g. customer name or customer number. If /name is not specified, then the computer name is used.
• /info
  infoZ=XXX, Z is replaced with 1 to 10, XXX with the desired text, which is to be located in the respective column. If blanks are used, then the text should be within double quotes. The column headings for the console can be changed in the customer portal online. An example: /info3="This is an example".
• /replaceexisting=true
  The Remote-Client-Setup is capable to overtake a client that is still registered at a tunnel server, when the Setup has been executed with this parameter. The Client must have the same FQDN as in the previous installation.

With this feature, it is possible to keep the position in the related folder of the Remote-Client-Overview and the already entered information (e.g., at a new installation).
