Installation switches for installing DisplayLink software on Windows

← Corporate Deployment
The following switches can be used with the DisplayLink setup.exe. These switches can be used in combination to enable more than one option at once:
  • -silent : Suppresses all progress dialogs and messages, apart from the SLA screen
  • -noreboot : Prevents rebooting/prompts for reboot at the end of install (use with –silent). Note, the PC may still require rebooting before the new installed software correctly operates.
  • -suppressUpToDateInfo : Prevents the "Software is up to date" message when setup.exe is run and the DL software is already installed
  • -ignoreCompatibility : Skips the installation compatibility check (from v7.5 software)
  • -stageDrivers: Does not install the DisplayLink software, but adds the driver to the Windows driver store, so the software is installed when a DisplayLink device is first seen
  • -uninstall : Removes the software (available from 8.0 M3 setup.exe). Can be combined with -silent for a silent removal from the command line.
For silent install, or corporate install, we recommend using the MSI files, available from our website.
