  - Installation Prerequisites
  - Install CIMPLICITY using Proficy Installer
  - Running the Proficy Installer from a Command Line
    CIMPLICITY installations may be performed without requiring any user input. This mode of installation is called Quiet Mode or Silent Mode. You can use this option to run the Proficy installer from a command line or programmatically. This can be helpful, for instance, if you have several computers on your network that you need to run the installer on. This topic describes the steps required to setup a Quiet Mode installation of CIMPLICITY. When you run the Proficy installer, a SilentInstallResponse.json file is created with information about the package, components, and settings that you selected and saved at [Install location]\Proficy. You can run the file using a command line and install CIMPLICITY.

Install Local Help

When you install CIMPLICITY using the Proficy installer, the online help mode is selected by default. Pressing F1 in the application will direct you to the help on the GE Vernova documentation server. However, if you prefer to install the help locally, you can follow the steps provided in this topic.

Note: It is recommended to use the online help, as it is always updated.

To install the help locally,

Ensure that projects are not running.
Open Windows PowerShell as an administrator.
The Windows PowerShell prompt appears.
In the PowerShell prompt, navigate to [ISO media location]\CIMPLICITY\Setup\help.
For example, if the ISO media is in the D:\ drive, you can enter cd D:\CIMPLICITY\Setup\help.
Execute the Setup.bat file by entering the .\Setup.bat command.
The help installation begins.
After installing, in CIMPLICITY Options, change the help option to Local Help. For more information, refer to Configure Help.
