You can remotely install and deinstall POS PSIM using the wmic.exe command line utility. This utility is a part of Windows OS. To run the utility, enter "wmic" without quotation marks in Windows command line. 

Detailed information about this utility can be found on Microsoft technical documentation page https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/. At the moment of creating this section, the description of the utility is available at https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/win32/wmisdk/wmic. 

Note

The wmic.exe utility does not work correctly with VMware virtual machines. It is not guaranteed to work with other virtual machines.

To run wmic on a remote computer, you should disable UAC (for instructions on how to do this, see OS settings for correct operation of Remote Admin Workstation or Server).

The installation and deinstallation methods described in this section apply to domain and extra-domain computers.

It is necessary to copy POS PSIM distribution kit to the computer local disks where the installation will be performed in advance.

To do this, you can use the following command line script:

xcopy %Path_to_folder_with_distribution_kit% %Network_folder_on_the_target_PC% /e

where: 

  • %Path_to_folder_with_distribution_kit% is the path to the folder with the distribution kit on the local computer:
  • %Network_folder_on_the_target_PC% is the path to the folder on the computer where you want to install the software. You should have the write access to it;
  • the /e attribute copies all subdirectories and their contents, including empty directories.

Note

The UNC path is in the format \\<server IP address>\<Shared folder on this server>\... . The ellipses here represent the path from the shared folder to the folder with the distribution kit. If you are installing on the computers in the domain, specify the address of the server that contains the distribution kit folder available to all computers.
