Installing Roxio Creator from the command prompt
Creator can be installed by calling the setup.exe application. One or more parameters can be added to customize the installation. You can also include instructions that generate a log file in case you should run into a problem that requires assistance from Roxio’s Global Customer Care team. The following instructions explain how to install Roxio Creator on a client PC. The command line syntax can be used with network management tools to perform a network- based deployment.

NOTE : You must have system Administrator privileges to install Roxio Creator from the command prompt.

To install Roxio Creator using the command prompt (Windows 10)

• In the Windows Start menu, locate the Command Prompt app. Right-click the Command Prompt menu item and select Run as administrator. The Command Prompt window opens. If a User Account Control prompt appears, click Yes to continue installation
• Call setup.exe and include the desired command line parameters. (For more information, see Command line syntax below)

Command line syntax
Setup.exe is the installer application, designed to provide a graphical user interface for the typical end-user installation. This application can also run silently, without the graphical user interface. Here’s an example of the syntax used to perform a silent install from the setup.exe file:

Using command line parameters

Data gathering

Data gathering tools are available to assist Roxio developers in understanding the nature of any installation issues. By default ROXIO_SETUP.log and all msi installation log files are placed on the user’s system here:

• {PROGRAMDATA_FOLDER}\Roxio Log Files\ {Product Name}\ {DATE_TIME}\, where
• PROGRAMDATA_FOLDER is the same as the %ProgramData% environment variable.

You can add the L*V parameter and a new path to redirect the log files to a different location as shown in this example:

• C:\enu\setup.exe ROXKEYTEXT=XX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX /qn REBOOT=ReallySuppress /L*V C:\logs\ROX {ProductID}.txt

Installing from a network

You can install Creator from a shared network location.

NOTE: When installing the software or when rebooting your system at the end of an installation, you must be logged into the system with Administrator privileges.

To install from a shared network location

• Copy the contents of the Creator installation disc to a network location.
• From remote computers, go to the Start > Run menu (Start Search box on Windows 10).
• Browse to the shared copy of the disc and enter the setup.exe command with the desired switches. For a list of switches that can be added to the command line, see Using command line parameters.
