INSTALLER OPTIONS
There is a link on the support page to our standard installer.
By default, the installer shows its user interface and require a few clicks to complete. If the installer is used to update an existing installation, the user will not be prompted for the installation folder. Once the installer is finished, BookingBuilderDesktop is started.
For large-scale installations, the installer can be run in silent mode, can automatically register new computers to your account, and can optionally not start bookingBuilder Desktop.
If you are installing a large number of computers for the first time, instead of using a Quick Link or manually registering each computer, the automatic registration option will be very helpful. To use it, first create a Quick Link in the group where the new computers should be registered. When you create the Quick Link, you will be given a link similar to: http://admin.bookingbuilder.com/BBAdmin/ql.aspx?D624F1270C
To automatically register new computers, download the installer, since you will have to run it locally. Run it like this: "BookingBuilderDesktopSetup.EXE D624F1270C". Pass it the value after the "?" in the Quick Link. When you do this, the installer will run silently, will install the software to [Program Files]\BookingBuilder, and will start BookingBuilder Desktop, which in turn will use the Quick Link ID to register the computer to your account.
If you do not want the installer to start BookingBuilder Desktop, add "NORUN" after the Quick Link ID, such as "BookingBuilderDesktopSetup.EXE D624F1270C NORUN".
For either installer, add "SILENT" to have it run in silent mode, such as "BookingBuilderDesktopSetup.EXE SILENT" or "BBD_Update.EXE SILENT". This is very helpful when pushing out updates through login scripts.
To force the computer to reboot after installation, add "REBOOT", such as BookingBuilderSetup.EXE D624F1270C SILENT REBOOT. If you use REBOOT, the installer internally adds "NORUN", since it should not start BookingBuilder Desktop before it reboots.
Please note that by running either installer in any of these modes, you are indicating acceptance of our license agreement. To see the agreement, run either installer in normal mode, or login to our site web site and click Edit Company; the license agreement is at the bottom of the page.
