SMSADDIN.EXE Command Options

SMSADDIN.EXE supports three command-line options, which appear before the path of the input file:

/v - verbose mode

Runs SMSADDIN.EXE interactively. This option displays the SMS Add-in Tool Registration window that you can use to view and change the required Registry information. ISVs should use this mode during development to create and test ATD files. This mode should not be used in a customer application setup scenario.

If no command-line arguments are specified, verbose mode is the default.

/u - unattended mode

Runs SMSADDIN.EXE silently, even when the input file contains invalid data. When using this option, you must specify the ATD file that contains the Registry information for the application. This option cannot be used with /v. Use this option in your setup program for unattended installation (or deinstallation) and registration.

/r - remove the Registry structure

By default, SMSADDIN.EXE adds data to the Registry. Use this option together with the /u option to remove an application's Registry structure in an unattended way. The vendor key will be deleted if there are no other ISV applications registered underneath it.
