2.2. Installation and Update

The setup of medini analyze is simple and self-explanatory. Just follow the instructions of the setup program. In most cases the default settings are just fine and can be used without modification. If required you can change installation folder for the program itself during setup though.

The installation procedure depends on whether a new tool version or an update version is being installed. Different versions of the tool can be installed at the same time on your computer, as long as they differ in their major version. For example version 2019 R1 and 2019 R2 can be both installed and used "side-by-side" while 2019 R1.1 will be treated as an update installation to 2019 R1.

Note: For update installations it is not necessary to manually remove a former version of medini analyze before installing a new update version. This is done during the installation process after user confirmation.

Note: The installation behavior as described above has significantly changed with R2019 R1. There was no support for side-by-side usage before this version.

After the installation has been completed, you can finish the setup wizard and start the tool manually.

In case a major update has been installed, a migration of the current projects may be required. For details on project migration see Project migration after updating medini analyze.

2.2.1. Installer command line parameters

The installer can be invoked via command line. In that case, the following parameters are available:

  • /S - installation runs headless, default settings are applied

  • /AllUsers - installation is available for all user accounts on the local machine

  • /CurrentUser - installation is available for current user on the local machine only

  • /D=<absolute installation path> - program is installed into <absolute installation path>. This parameter must be at the end of the parameter list.
