RSA SecurID Software Token 4.1 Administrator’s Guide
22 2: Installing the Application
Command Line Installation
A Windows Installer command line installation allows you to install product features
to meet your specific requirements. For example, if you use the software token library
with a supported third-party plug-in that has its own user interface, you can exclude
the desktop application executable (“DesktopClient”) from the installation. The
installation package also provides command line properties that allow you to change
the location where specific components are installed on the user’s system.
Important: To run a command line installation on Windows Vista, you must run the
command shell as Administrator.
Features That Can Be Installed or Uninstalled from the Command Line
The following table describes the product features that you can install or uninstall
from the command line.

including the application user interface and the

transfer tokens from a previous version of the

Important: If you plan to upgrade from a
previous version, and you do not want to install
the user interface, first make sure that you do not
need to use the Token Transfer utility to transfer
existing tokens to version 4.1.
