The registration of the addin in PowerPoint is already done during the installation without user intervention.
The silent install can be done from the command line:
sudo installer -pkg /path/to/empower.pkg -target /Applications
|
The RemoteServiceConfig.xml should already be inserted under /Users/<USER>/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/empower
should be inserted.
For this purpose there is also the possibility to use a JAMF Configuration Profile.
The empowerProfile.mobileconfig file can be executed by JAMF.
This will install the empower certificate on the computer.
The path /path/to/empower.pkg must be replaced with the correct path,
e.g. /Users/<USER>/Desktop/empower_8.4.2.x_enterprise.pkg.
=8.4.2,Version<9.1)">Silent Install (for Version >= 8.4.2, Version < 9.1)</9.1)">
It is possible to run the installer "silently".
This means that during the installation
- No installation window appears.
- empower is not started.
- The addin is not registered in PowerPoint.
(This happens only when you start empower manually).
Silent Install can be done from the command line:
Console command
sudo -u $(stat -f%Su /dev/console) /usr/bin/defaults write com.madeinoffice.empower SILENT_INSTALL -bool TRUE && \
sudo -u $(stat -f%Su /dev/console) /usr/bin/defaults write com.madeinoffice.empower FRAMEWORK_COPY -bool TRUE && \
sudo -u $(stat -f%Su /dev/console) /usr/bin/defaults write com.madeinoffice.empower REGISTER_ADDIN -bool TRUE && \
sudo installer -pkg /path/to/empower.pkg -target /Applications
|
The RemoteServiceConfig.xml should already be inserted under /Users/<USER>/Library/Group Containers/UBF8T346G9.Office/empower
should be inserted.
The path /path/to/empower.pkg must be replaced with the correct path,
e.g. /Users/<USER>/Desktop/empower_8.4.2.x_enterprise.pkg.
ATTENTION: After the silent install, empower must be started manually once afterwards, otherwise PowerPoint will never start empower by itself.
This can result in you having empower installed but never using it.
The default flag REGISTER_ADDIN only works in conjunction with FRAMEWORK_COPY.
