There are several install options that can be used.

Option

Description

/User = <user name>

Name of the Windows user Back4 should use to log in

/Password=<password>

Password for the specified Windows user

/Start=<startup mode>

Start up mode for the service (Manual or Automatic)

/Instance=<instance name>

Instance name to use to generate the complete service name and log name.

Examples

..\\installutil /User=demoserver\administrator /Password=pwd /Start=Automatic back4.exe 

 

This will install the Back4 service to log in with the user 'demoserver\administrator' and password 'pwd', and will start the service automatically when the server boots.

 

..\\installutil /User=demoserver\administrator /Password=pwd /Instance=MySite back4.exe 

 

This will install an instance of the Back4 service to log in with the user 'demoserver\administrator' and password 'pwd', and will specify to start the service manually. The complete name of the service will be 'Tera Back4 MySite'.

NOTE:

If the /User and /Password are not specified, the install utility will prompt for them as shown above.

Refer to the section on Multiple instances of Back4 to determine if this option is needed.

IMPORTANT

When installing Back4 with the /Instance option, be sure to modify the appsettings.xml file, adding the key:

<add key="Db.Instance" value="GNPortal" />
