Upgrade command line
The upgrade consists in executing the installation command line for each machine. In Citrix, build a package with the installation command line. Tools and solution vary and there is no particular procedure. Anyway, the command line should be executed with the privilege 'Run as administrator'.
If you do not have the tools, technical skills or the authorization required for this step, contact your IT department.
The installation consists in executing the installation command line for each windows client.
Upgrade command line syntax for HOPEX V2R1 Cpx.msp:
<path of msiexec.exe> /update <path of the HOPEX MSP file> /passive
Example:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\msiexec.exe /update "\\Srv001\CP\HOPEX\HOPEX V2R1 Patch 1.msp" /passive /levw "C:\tmp\ScriptInstall.log"
Result for each server:
• HOPEX programs are upgraded (according to Program Features previously installed).
