If you plan to install TN3270 Plus on a large number of workstations, you may want to automate the installation. A silent or unattended install allows you to install TN3270 Plus using a single command from the Windows command line.
Silent Install
Use one of the following commands to install TN3270 Plus.
TN3270PlusSetup.exe /s /v/qn |
Installs TN3270 Plus for the current user. |
TN3270PlusSetup.exe /s /v"/qn ALLUSERS=1" |
Installs TN3270 Plus for all users. |
TN3270PlusSetup /s /v"/qn INSTALLDIR=\"f:\My Test"" |
Installs TN3270 Plus in the specified directory |
The silent install uses the following default settings:
Application Folder |
c:\Program Files\SDI\TN3270 Plus |
Application Data Folder |
Windows 11/10/8/7 Windows Server 2022/2019/2016/2012/2008: |
Adding Configuration Files
If you want to pre-configure settings for your users, you will need to copy TN3270 Plus configuration files into the user's Application Data Folder. We recommend you set up one TN3270 Plus workstation with all the desired settings and then copy the configuration files from that workstation to your other users' workstations.
Adding Preferences
The steps above are all that is needed for most installations. However, if you want to include TN3270 Plus preferences (Setup, Preferences) in your pre-configured system, you need to add TN3270 Plus registry entries to each user's system.
Export the TN3270 Plus Registry entries from your pre-configured workstation. To export the TN3270 Plus Registry entries, run "regedit.exe". In the Registry Editor, select the following folder:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SDI\TN3270 Plus
Open the Registry menu and select Export Registry File... Save the exported file as "tn3270.reg". The exported file can be imported to the receiving system by the following command. The "-s" switch suppresses information dialog boxes.
regedit -s c:\path\tn3270.reg
