Online Guide – Tumonz 12 Standalone Installer

The Tumonz Standalone Installer allows users to install Tumonz on systems where internet access or security prevents the use of the online installer – the guide below will assist you to setup and run the standalone installation. Click on any image to enlarge it.

The standalone installer can be summarized as follows (the guide below provides more detail):

  • You need to download one program (T12SI.exe) and a few files into one directory (which can be on an external drive) and then run T12SI.exe to install Tumonz (if an existing installation is detected it will be updated). The links to the files you need to download are listed below.
  • In the future you can return to this page to download any updated files, and then just repeat the same process on PCs with existing installations – the program will detect which files have been updated and only replace them selectively.
  • This installer is only recommended for advanced users that need to maintain installations on systems where the security profile does not allow the standard Tumonz installation & update mechanism. Also please keep in mind that since Tumonz cannot update itself periodically, the standalone installer directory will need to be updated and applied a few times a year.

If you just need a new Tumonz installation (or update an existing install) you only need to follow the instructions in the first section. The section below that is for more advanced users e.g. for system administrators.

Command Line Parameters

The installer supports the following command line parameters:

  • “-S|x” – Use this parameter to tell the installer to do a Silent install  with only install log file after completion (x=1) or a Silent install without a log file (x=2). Any other value for x will result in the normal user interface prompting the user – this is the default. Any errors encountered during installation will just be reported in the text log file (T11SI.log).
  • “-T|FullInstallPath” – this parameter directs the installer to use a different install path, and is the only way to change the install path if the Silent install option is specified. If this parameter is not specified the installer will use the default Tumonz installation path. The parameter is ignored when an existing installation is detected.
  • “-R|FullSourcePath” – the install by defaults looks for update sources in the same directory as the executable (T11SI.exe), unless this parameter is used to specify a different source directory.

Examples:

  • T12SI.exe “-S|1”
    The installer will start and detect available new data in the same directory as the executable, and create a new installation in the default user directory or update an existing installation. No user input is required and the program will create a log file with update details (T11SI.log)
  • T12SI.exe “-S|2” “-T|C:\Apps\Tumonz”
    The installer will silently install to C:\Apps\Tumonz (no log file), unless an existing installation is detected – in this case the existing installation will be updated.
  • T12SI.exe “-R|G:\Installers\Tumonz”
    The installer will start and present the user with the usual options/GUI, but the source files for the update will be retrieved from G:\Installers\Tumonz.
