Question:
What has to be considered with the installation of Lenze software L-force Engineer and what arguments are supported?
Answer:
General information
-
For installation administration rights are required.
The installation program requires the installation of a certain version of .NET Framework and will install it if necessary.
If the installation of the .NET Framework terminates with an error message, start the .NET Framework Setup manually from the "Prerequisites" directory before installing the Lenze software and follow the instructions.
It is recommended to execute the setup file on the local computer. When executing the setup file directly from a network drive, it may happen that existing antivirus software erroneously displays a risk.
The software can also be installed in silent mode.
In this mode no user interaction during installation procedure is necessary.
For installation in silent mode it is possible either to use a configuration file or to enter necessary inputs directly to the command line. Do not use both option together.
