Deploy CDM through the command-line interface using the MSI file

Use this method to deploy CDM with customized settings. Before you begin, you'll need to do the following:

  • Download the CloudDriveMapper.msi file from the Downloads page in Iris. Depending on your environment, the Downloads page includes an MSI file for both x64 and ARM64 devices.

  • Ensure you’ve installed Microsoft .NET Desktop Runtime 8 before deploying CDM, as the MSI file can’t install it at the beginning of the installation process due to the way its execution sequence works.

  • You’ll also need your license key, which you can copy from the CDM Dashboard in Iris.

Before deploying CDM using the CloudDriveMapper.msi file, ensure you’ve installed the prerequisites, as you can’t deploy CDM successfully without first installing these.

  1. Press Windows + S on your keyboard to open the search box.

  2. Type cmd in the search box, right-click the Command Prompt tile and select Run as administrator from the shortcut menu. The User Account Control dialog box appears.

  3. Select Yes to launch the Command Prompt console.

  4. Assuming you downloaded the CloudDriveMapper.msi file in the Downloads folder, type cd "C:\Users\UserName\Downloads" and press Enter.

If you downloaded this file in another folder, replace cd "C:\Users\UserName\Downloads" with cd "C:\path\to\folder" and press Enter. Run the following command to deploy CDM silently: msiexec /i "CloudDriveMapper.msi" /qn LICENSEKEY=your_license_key.
