INSTALLING AT THE COMMAND PROMPT

running as an administrator or the command prompt window has administrator rights. A command window
can then be open.
"WBF_Validity_FMA_Setup /s" will install in silent mode.
If this is a clean install, you can run the EXE and create a log file.
"WBF_Validity_FMA_Setup /l* c:\validity_install.log"
You can uninstall the software and create a log file using the EXE:
"WBF_Validity_FMA_Setup /l* c:\validity_uninstall.log /x"
Command line switches:
/s silent mode - no prompts
/l* log MSI actions to the specified file
/x uninstall the software
USING #RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR# IN WINDOWS 7

must be chosen. To do this:
