Outlook silent install

This guide is intended for IT administrators who want to install the FacilityNet Outlook add-in via silent install (automatic installation).

 

NOTE: If you want to avoid restarting during installation, see this article.

 

If you have a corporate administrator account on FacilityNet:

1. Download the FacilityNet Outlook add-in via the link below:

Download latest version here

2. Get the license key by logging into FacilityNet with your administrator account:

See guide to find license key

3. Open an administrator command prompt (Windows key -> Type “cmd” -> Right-click Command Prompt -> Select "Run as administrator").

4. Enter the installation command in the prompt.
The command is available when you log in to the system as a corporate administrator.
See the guide in step 2.

Example:


This command is unique for each company, so it's important that you log in and find your own command.


Remember to use the correct version:

  • If the Outlook installation on the computer is the 32-bit version, you should use the 32-bit installation file and command under Silent install 32bit.
  • If the Outlook installation on the computer is the 64-bit version, you should use the 64-bit installation file and command under Silent install 64bit.

Setup file name is the MSI package's file name, e.g., "Setup-2.5.684.msi"

Once the installation is complete, users must restart their Outlook, after which they can use FacilityNet from the panel on the right inside Outlook.

 

If you do not yet have a corporate administrator account on FacilityNet:

1. Download the FacilityNet Outlook add-in via the link below:

2. Open the file with the license key from the email you received from FacilityNet.

It will contain something like:

<License>
<LicenseKey>xxxxxxxx-yyyy-zzzz-aaaa-bbbbbbbbbbbb</LicenseKey>
<Host>https://facilitynet.dk/demo</Host>
<LicenseNumber>1234567890</LicenseNumber>
<IssuedTo>Fantomzonen (Employee)</IssuedTo>
</License>

3. Open an administrator command prompt (Windows key -> Type “cmd” -> Right-click Command Prompt -> Select "Run as administrator").

4. Enter the following command in the prompt, replacing the placeholders with the information from the license file:

msiexec.exe /i <Setup file name> /quiet /log install.txt LANG=da LIC_NUM=<LicenseNumber> LIC_KEY=<LicenseKey> HOST=<Host> ALLUSERS=1 MSIINSTALLPERUSER=0

Setup file name is the MSI package's file name, e.g., "Setup-2.5.684.msi".
