Cause: The ActivDriver installation is waiting for a hardware device (a connected Promethean board) that isn't present.
Fix: Use the property DISABLE_DEVICE_DETECTION=1:
msiexec /i "ActivInspire.msi" DISABLE_DEVICE_DETECTION=1 /qn
Find the product code (once per version): activinspire silent install
wmic product where "name like 'ActivInspire%%'" get IdentifyingNumber
Then uninstall:
msiexec /x PRODUCT-CODE-GUID /qn
If you need to pre-configure licensing or preferences: Cause: The ActivDriver installation is waiting for a
msiexec /i "ActivInspire.msi" TRANSFORMS="license.mst" /qn
Check Promethean’s deployment guide for exact property names (e.g., LICENSE_KEY=XXXXX). Find the product code (once per version): wmic
If you’re unable to obtain the MSI from Promethean, silent install is not possible with the standard public installer.
Even in silent mode, some versions of ActivInspire halt if the EULA is not accepted. To bypass this, pass the license acceptance property:
msiexec /i "ActivInspire.msi" ACCEPT_EULA=1 /qn
msiexec /i "ActivInspire.msi" ADDLOCAL=ActivInspire,PrometheanResources,ActivDriver /qn /norestart
