A silent install is the installation of a software program that requires no user interaction. It is a convenient way to streamline the installation process of a desktop application. The following method may be used to silently install the Software Capture for PC application.

Accessing the Software Capture Application

Downloads for the Software Capture application are available through the My Account page.

  1. Click on your avatar icon at the upper right of your screen. Choose My Account.
  2. Click Downloads from the left side menu.
  3. Choose whether to download the Express Installer or Alternate Installer for PC 
      • Express Installer: The Express Installer is recommended to all those who have local administrative rights for their device. It is supported on all Window versions 8.1 and above. 
      • Alternate Installer: We recommend using the Alternate Installer for those who do not have local administrative rights. For those with local administrative rights, please download the Express Installer to take full advantage of the Software Capture application’s asynchronous upload capability. The Alternate Installer is supported on all Window versions 8.1 and above.

Installing the YuJa Software Capture for PC Application

Use the following steps to complete the silent installation of the YuJa Software Capture application.

  1. Navigate to the file on your computer, typically found in the Downloads folder.
  2. Right-click on the Software Capture application file. Choose Properties.
  3. Copy the file location from the Security tab by highlighting the location and entering CTRL-C.
  4. Go to your computer’s Search field and enter cmd; this will open a Command Prompt.
  5. Right-click on the Command Prompt application and choose Run as Administrator.
  6. On the first line of text where it reads C:\Windows\system32> paste the file location. 
  7. Add a space at the end of the file location, and type "/quiet". This command line will allow you to install Software Capture silently.
  8. Press the Enter key on your keyboard to begin the installation process, however; if you would like to specify a location for the installation and/or disable the Software Capture application from launching after the installation, please follow steps 9-12. 
  9. If you would like to install Software Capture to a specific location, add a space at the end of your command line, and type "INSTALLFOLDER="YOUR_FILE_LOCATION" 
    • Exmple: INSTALLFOLDER="C: \YSC"
  10. Press Enter on your keyboard to install Software Capture, or continue to the next step to learn how to disable Software Capture from launching after the installation.
  11. To disable Software Capture from launching after the installation, at the end of the command line, add a space and type "LAUNCHPROGRAM=0"
  12. Once you are satisfied with your command line, press the Enter key on your keyboard for a silent installation of the YuJa Software Capture for PC application.

To deploy this on multiple machines, you will need to create a batch script with this command and deploy the batch script as per your normal upgrade and installation process.

 

Registering the YuJa Software Capture through Silent Install (Optional)

Organizations that plan on using remote scheduling of the Software Capture application also have the option to subsequently Register the Software Capture application to each respective room/station while deploying the application through the silent install. 

  1. Login as an IT Manager and access your Admin Panel.
  2. Once you have opened the Admin Panel, select the Devices menu.
  3. Within the Devices menu, find the Auto Registration button at the top of the page and click on it.
  4. Within the pop-up, download the configuration template and generate the Institution Code.
  5. Ensure the configuration file is named “yss-reg.config” and the content of this file should format as shown.

    {canAutoRegistration : true, institutionCode : “Get Code from Admin Panel’s Device Tab”}
    Note: Any other file name or content format will not work.

  6. Copy the institution code from the same pop-up box in step 3 and replace the Get Code from the Devices tab with the institution code (see example below).

    {canAutoRegistration : true, institutionCode : “346d297b2e75aeb8”,}

  7. Save the configuration file and copy it to <Software Installation Folder>/config folder. For example: C:\Program Files (x86)\YuJa\YuJa Software Capture\config.
  8. Run the Software Capture application (make sure yuja-software-capture-service is also running).
  9. Once the auto-configuration file is finished, the name will update to yss-reg.finished. This means the Software Capture application is registered.
  10. Go back to the Devices menu, and you will see the auto-generated device with the same name as the user’s computer name.
