  • To access the installer help menu, which explains the various install options, issue the following command:

    where
    C:\NexJ
    is the location of the installer executable and nexj-office-setup-4.6.2.exe is the name of the installer executable file.
  • To install NexJ Add-In without the program bringing up any installation prompts, run the installer with the /S parameter. For example, issue the following command:
    C:\NexJ\nexj-office-setup-4.6.2.exe /S

    By default, this installs NexJ Add-In for the user currently logged in on the machine. To install for all users, add the /ALLUSERS=1 parameter:
    C:\NexJ\nexj-office-setup-4.6.2.exe /S /ALLUSERS=1

  • All configuration options can be set using the command line during the installation. For example, to install NexJ Add-In silently and set the host name to www.nexjsystems.com, issue the following command:

  • To change settings after installation, use the registry editor.
