Description

Some users might need to perform silently installs of the Hipchat clients in their environments. This document is meant to cover the process for doing this on both Windows and Mac clients. Please notice this procedure is not officially supported by Atlassian.

Diagnosis

Environment

  • Using the Windows or Mac clients. (Mobile, Linux and web apps do not apply.)

Resolution

For Windows 2.2 (Deprecated)

  1. Open the command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the installer is saved.
  3. Run the command:

    msiexec.exe /i Hipchat-2.2.1373-win32.msi /qn /norestart ALLUSERS=1

For Windows 4.0 EXE and MSI

EXE

  1. Open the command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the installer is saved.
  3. Run the installer from the command-line with the option "/VERYSILENT". For example if your installer is called "Hipchat_4.0.1617.exe" you would enter the following command:

    HipChat_4.0.1617.exe /VERYSILENT

    (info) The option "/SILENT" is also available. "/SILENT" shows the installation dialog and progress bar while "/VERYSILENT" does not.

MSI

  1. Open the command prompt.
  2. Navigate to the directory where the installer is saved
  3. Run the command :
    msiexec.exe /i HipChat-4.26.5.1655-win32.msi /qn /norestart ALLUSERS=1

For Mac

  1. Run the command below in terminal/shell:
  2. sudo cp -R "/Volumes/Chicken of the VNC/Chicken of the VNC.app" /Applications

    (info) Remember to change "/Volumes/Chicken of the VNC/Chicken of the VNC.app" to the actual path of the .app installer of the Mac client.
