In addition to the default Meridian setup (InstallShield) program, the Meridian distribution package includes Microsoft Windows Installer (MSI) packages for the convenience of those customers for whom Windows Installer packages are the corporate standard. Both packages install the same Meridian product version. For information on using the InstallShield setup program, see Starting Meridian installation.
Note The Meridian client installation packages install only client components and cannot be used to install server components or developer components. Use the server setup program to install the server or developer components as described in Installing the server components and Installing the developer components.
To install a package with the default options, double-click the file to open it with the Windows Installer program. The program will present an installation wizard for manually choosing available installation options, similar to the Meridian default (InstallShield) setup program.
If you want to install a package on many computers with Active Directory or another automated deployment method, run the Windows Installer program in a command window with the optional command-line arguments and switches to specify the installation options you need.
The command-line arguments supported by the Meridian installation packages are listed in the following table:
