How do I perform a silent installation of the Working Papers Webview2 update?

Answer

To perform a silent installation of the Working Papers Webview2 update, you'll need to download the Webview2 update file, create a response file, then deploy the update to your users.

To download the Webview2 update file:

1. Sign in to MyCaseware.
2. On the Dashboard, click Support Downloads | Working Papers.
3. Select Working Papers Webview2 Update and expand the (+) Working Papers Webview2 Update drop-down.
4. Click Download.

You have downloaded the Webview2 update file (WPWebview2Update.exe).

To create the response file:

1. On the Windows Start menu, type Run, and open the application.
2. In the Open field, type the file path of the downloaded Webview2 update file in quotations, followed by the /r switch. For example: "C:\Users\John.Smith\Downloads\WPWebview2Update.exe" /r
3. Click OK. If you receive the User Account Control prompt, click Yes.
4. Complete the InstallShield Wizard.

A response file named setup.iss is created in the C:\Windows folder.

To deploy the update to your users:

1. Move the downloaded Webview2 update file and setup.iss file to a shared location that your users can access.
2. On Windows Start menu, type Run, and open the application.

3. In the Open field, type the shared file path of the Webview2 update file in quotations, followed by the /s and /f1 switches, then the setup.iss file path in quotations. For example: "F:\Shared Network\WPWebview2Update.exe" /s /f1"F:\SharedNetwork\setup.iss"

   Note: Ensure there are no spaces between /f1 and the file path (e.g. /f1"F:\...).

4. Click OK.

The Webview2 update is deployed and silently installed onto your users' systems.
