Comment: Migration of unmigrated content due to installation of a new plugin

All latest versions of JIRA Client (starting 1.3 Beta) support silent install. We use install4j as installer and the silent install command line will look likeTo silently install JIRA Client, simply run: jiraclient-2_3_4.exe -q

Complete We use install4j as the installer and complete reference to installer command line options may be found here: http://resources.ej-technologies.com/install4j/help/doc/helptopics/installers/options.html

There are two things that will require some additional fixing, which Once the client is installed you will need to apply the license. This can be done with a simple .bat file:

  1. Add JIRA Client shortcut if necessarythe license file to the installation root folder.
  2. To the installation root folder same location add the license file and the configuration file, which will tell JIRA Client where the license is. This is done in two simple steps:
  3. Place license key file in the installation root folder
    4. Create The configuration file is a plain-text file called "jiraclient.properties" in the installation root folder with the , which should contain the following text:
    Code Block
    jiraclient.license=<the name of the license file>

You can also create your own script for silent installation. JIRA Client installer has only two really important functions: it unpacks and copies files. So you can install JIRA Client once, add the license key and a configuration file to the installation folder (as described above), then make a ZIP archive of the JIRA Client's installation folder, and when you need to deploy it on a PC, simply unpack it from the archive to the desired location. There are a few things to remember when installing this way:

  1. You won't get program group and shortcuts under "Start" menu.
  2. The fact that JIRA Client is installed will not be recognized by JIRA Client installer, if it is run on that computer later. (The installer won't suggest the same directory and won't check if JIRA Client is running, otherwise it's ok.)).
  3. You need to install from the full JIRA Client distributive, which includes Java, in the "jre" folder in the installation root folder.
