Installer Command-Line Options

The Axialis Installer supports command-line options to help automate and customize the installation process. This is especially useful for silent deployments or configuring settings in advance.

Available Options

The following command-line switches are supported:

Option

Parameter(s)

Description

/? or /h

Displays a help screen listing all command-line options.

/q

(none)

Installs the application in quiet mode with no user interface. Returns 0 if successful, 1 if an error occurs.

/s

(none)

Creates a Desktop shortcut to launch the application. Not created by default.

/t

(none)

Installs the SVG Thumbnail Shell Extension, which enables SVG thumbnails in Windows File Explorer. Not installed by default.

/f

{folder}

Specifies a custom installation folder. The folder path must be enclosed in double quotes.

/e

{email}

Specifies the Axialis account email for the user. If used with /p, the application will try to sign in automatically on first launch.

/p

{password}

Specifies the password for the Axialis ID. Used with /e to enable automatic activation on first launch.

Usage Examples

1. Install silently (default folder, no shortcut, no shell extension):

Install /q

2. Install silently to a custom folder, with desktop shortcut and shell extension:

Install /q /s /t /f "C:\Program Files\Axialis\Test"

3. Install silently with shell extension and auto sign-in using account credentials:

Install /q /t /e jsmith@hotmail.com /p ThePassword

Note

Automatic activation requires a valid license associated with the specified account.

Sample Icons Installed with IconVectors

When you install IconVectors, a collection of sample icons is added your Documents\Axialis IconVectors folder. We recommend that you open them to learn how icons are built using geometric elements, paths and organized in layers. You can also use them as templates for your own projects

Here is the list of Axialis Vector Icons provided freely as sample:

Hint

If you installed the Axialis Shell Extension during setup, you’ll see live SVG thumbnails for these icons directly in File Explorer.
