Issue/Introduction

How to deploy the VIP Access Desktop in silent install mode, OEM mode, IPT mode, and logfile mode.

Resolution

Download VIP Access for desktop from https://vip.symantec.com. The installer, VipAccessSetup.exe, accepts the following command line options. Below are the command-line options:

/s	Invoke the installer in silent mode.
/IPT	If this option is present, the installer will exit with an error if no Intel IPT hardware is detected on the system. If the option is not present, then the installer will continue to install the VIP Access Desktop software even if no Intel IPT hardware is detected on the system. It will provision a VIP credential that is purely software-based.
/oem	If this option is present, the installer will install the VIP Access Desktop software to support OPK mode installation for OEMs. With this flag on, VIPAppService (the service component of the VIP Access Desktop software) will not start until after a reboot.
/M partnerName	If this option is present, the installer enables the flag with the value specified by partnerName. Using this flag and value, the VIP Access Desktop software provisions the credentials based on partner entry.
/l logfile	If this option is present, the installer will write its log to the file name specified by logfile.
/p installPatch	If this option is present, the installer will choose installPath as the default installation path, instead of c:\program files\

Users with administrative privileges can launch setup.exe with the applicable command line options. For example:

• OEM OPK mode installation with a log file: setup.exe /s /IPT /oem /I logfile
• Interactive installation on a machine without Intel IPT hardware or emulator: setup.exe
• Silent installation on a machine with Intel IPT hardware or emulator: setup.exe /IPT /s
• Partner-based credential provisioning on a machine: setup.exe /M partnerName
