Manually install help server content

Posted on by Microsoft Employee

Does someone know how to manually install the help server content (without using setup approach). I tried to start the HelptContent-de.msi by myself but the installation is cancelled. I think i have to set some cmd parameters....?

Regards

    Hi Andi,

    It is preferred that the msi is installed through the AX Setup process. However there is a work around.

    Try executing msiexec as follows:

    msiexec /i HelpContent_de.msi INSTALLDIR=”<Path Where You want Installed>” DIRECTEXECUTE=1 /qn

    Example:

    msiexec /i HelpContent_de.msi INSTALLDIR=”C:\Foo” DIRECTEXECUTE=1 /qn

    Once the msi is installed the contents will be installed under C:\Foo\Content\Microsoft\DE folder.

    To uninstall the msi:

    msiexec /x HelpContent_de.msi

    Let me know if you have questions.

    Hi Margo,

    we use the vm's from partnersource and they do not include the german language. It's just easier to let the consultats only install the german help content and not have to create a dvd image, copy it to them and let them install that. 

    Kind regards
