Geode Connect PC Install for Enterprises

29 Oct 2024

This article gives the commands and flags for deploying Geode Connect PC to multiple users via systems management tools such as Microsoft Configuration Manager. 

The deployment type is Script Installer, and the basic command is:

                 geode-2.4.2.exe -i alluser -s

The following table describes the supported flags.

FLAG DESCRIPTION
 -i

Launches the Geode Connect installation with the install screen (even if it is currently installed). 

If the parameter "alluser" follows the -i, then it will automatically launch it into an all-user install mode on load. Combine this with -s, and it will not prompt for any user confirmations. 

 -s

Executes the install in pseudo silent mode. It will still show the UI but skip all the user prompts, so it behaves like an automatic install.

 -x

Skips the installation of desktop shortcuts.

 -r

Skips the registration into add/remove programs.

 -xdriver

Skips the Hemisphere driver installation.

-xlocationdriver

 

Skips the Geode location driver and virtual COM port driver installations.*

To install these drivers manually, run the following command as admin after installing Geode Connect.

For 64-bit machines, enter:
C:\ProgramData\JuniperSystems\GeodeConnect\GeodeDriverPackage\
GeodeDriverInstallerManaged64.exe install

For 32-bit machines, enter: 
C:\ProgramData\JuniperSystems\GeodeConnect\GeodeDriverPackage\
GeodeDriverInstallerManaged32.exe install

 -lang [two-letter language prefix]

Forces Geode Connect to launch with the specified language code (e.g., 'es' for Spanish; 'fr' for French, etc.). If this flag is not present, then the installer uses the current language defined by the OS. 

* The flag -xlocationdriver is available only in Geode Connect version 2.4.2 and later.

For the installation file and instructions, go to Geode Connect for Microsoft Windows PC.
