Install Switches and Properties for Tableau Server Independent Gateway

Applies to: Tableau Advanced Management
Switch Description Comments
/install | /repair | /uninstall | /layout "<directory>"

Run Setup to either install, repair, or uninstall Tableau Server Independent Gateway, or with /layout, create a complete local copy of the installation bundle in the directory specified.

 Default is to install, displaying UI and all prompts. If no directory is specified on a fresh install, C:\Program Files\Tableau\Tableau Server\ independentgateway is assumed. If TSIG is already installed, Setup will assume the same location as the current installation.
/passive

Run Setup with minimal UI and no prompts.

/quiet | /silent

Run Setup in unattended, fully silent mode. No UI or prompts are displayed.

Note: Use either /silent or /quiet, not both.
/norestart

Run Setup without restarting Windows, even if a restart is necessary.

Note: In certain rare cases, a restart cannot be suppressed, even when this option is used. This is most likely when an earlier system restart was skipped, for example, during installation of other software.
/log "<drive>\<path>\<log-file>.<ext>" Log information to the specified file and path.

Use this switch with a path and log file name to make the log available after installation is complete.

If this switch is used with a log file name but no path, the log file is written to a temporary location and deleted at the end of the installation.

If this switch is used but no log file name is specified, the switch is ignored and the file is written to %TEMP%.

If this switch is not used, the log file is written to %TEMP%.
