Installation command line parameters

Right after the installation one virtual drive will be added automatically (it takes some time) and main form of DAEMON Tools Lite will appear (by default). If you have installed not the last version of DAEMON Tools Lite, the Update dialog will appear proposing to download last available version.

Command Line Switches

When you run the installation file without command line parameters it will launch Setup wizard — a graphical user interface (GUI) in an interactive mode. Setup wizard would prompt you to put in required information. Alternatively you can run setup in silent mode, with no GUI displayed. In silent mode required information should be provided in the command line. You can install DAEMON Tools Lite in silent mode without any GUI windows displayed by using following switches:

  • /S — silent mode. Runs the installer or uninstaller silently;
  • /serial <serial number> — in case serial number is omitted free license would be installed;
  • /nogadget — cancel DAEMON Tools Gadget installation (Windows Vista/7). Can be installed manually later;
  • /sptd — install SPTD driver;
  • /D=<install path> — set installation folder. Must be the last parameter to work correctly.

Example:

C:\Downloads\DTLite4453-0297.exe /S /serial aa11aabb22bbcc33ccdd44ddee55eeff /D="C:\Program Files"
