Installing AdminStudio Silently Via Command Line
The AdminStudio installer was created using an InstallShield “Suite” project type, which means that the procedure for installing AdminStudio silently is different from previous releases, which were created using a “Basic MSI” project type.
To install AdminStudio 2025 R2 silently, you need to use the ASCommandLine property to pass standard MSI parameters to the AdminStudio installer (AdminStudio2025R2.exe), along with the /silent switch:
AdminStudio2025R2.exe /silent /skipupdate ASCommandLine="[Parameters]"
For example:
AdminStudio2025R2.exe /silent /skipupdate ASCommandLine="TRANSFORMS=MyTransform.mst"
The AdminStudio installer uses the following command line parameters:
| Parameter | Description |
|---|---|
| ASCommandLine | Use to pass any MSI property (except for ISInstallDir , SharedInstallDir , or PRODUCTID ) to the AdminStudio installer. Below are examples: AdminStudio2025R2.exe /silent ASCommandLine="TRANSFORMS=MyTransform.mst" |
| ISCommandLine | Use to pass any MSI property to the InstallShield Editor installer (which is automatically launched during AdminStudio installation). Using this parameter enables you to install InstallShield Editor in a different directory than AdminStudio. For example: AdminStudio2025R2.exe /silent ISCommandLine="INSTALLDIR=D:\MyISDirectory" |
| ISInstallDir | Use to specify the AdminStudio installation directory: AdminStudio2025R2.exe /silent ISInstallDir="C:\Program Files\MyInstallLocation" |
| SharedInstallDir | Use to specify the AdminStudio Shared directory: AdminStudio2025R2.exe /silent SharedInstallDir="\netshare18\MySharedLocation" |
| PRODUCTID | Use to specify the AdminStudio activation code: AdminStudio2025R2.exe /silent PRODUCTID="xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx" |
| /silent | In order to install AdminStudio silently, you must use /silen t switch: AdminStudio2025R2.exe /silent /skipupdate |
