# Windows: Configuring the WXP Insights Agent Installer with Command Line

## Introduction

When deploying the WXP Insights agent for HP Workforce Experience Platform (WXP) across multiple devices using setup.exe, it is recommended to automate the installation process, especially for silent and large-scale deployments. To support such automation, the setup.exe installer offers a range of command-line options to help streamline onboarding and reduce manual effort.

This article provides detailed command-line options for configuring the WXP Insights agent for Windows using the setup.exe installer, which is typically used during the onboarding of new devices to WXP. These options enable you (IT administrators) to automate and customize installation across various deployment scenarios, including:

- Bulk enrollment using a Company PIN or Serial Number
- Silent installation and UI suppression
- Auto-update configuration and disabling
- Logging options for troubleshooting deployments

> **Note:** Command-line options are not case-sensitive.

| **Switches** | **Default Value** | **Example** | **Scenario** |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| **CPIN** | 0 | WXPInsights.exe CPIN=XXXXX | To bulk enroll using Company PIN |
| **ZTEMODE** | 0 | WXPInsights.exe ZTEMODE=0 | To bulk enroll using Serial Number |
| **HIDETRAY** | False | WXPInsights.exe HIDETRAY=True | To hide the system tray icon and all notifications: - No warning for domain mismatch - No Agree/Disagree dialog for domain mismatch - The tray icon will not be visible but will be running in the task manager |
| **SILENT** |  | WXPInsights.exe /silent CPIN=xxxxxx WXPInsights.exe /silent ZTEMODE=0 | Silent installs must be used in conjunction with the CPIN or ZTEMODE switch |
| **UPDATEBEFOREENROLL=0** | 1 | WXPInsights.exe /silent CPIN=xxxxxx UPDATEBEFOREENROLL=0 | By default, WXP Insights agent attempts to update software to the latest version; explicitly auto-update before enrollment can be turned off using this switch |
| **DISABLEAUTOUPDATE** | False | WXPInsights.exe /silent CPIN=xxxxxx DISABLEAUTOUPDATE=True | DISABLEAUTOUPDATE blocks auto update of the WXP Insights agent forever; it's typically used for Kiosk devices where update control is with the Admin |
| **Install Shield switches to collect installer log** |  | WXPInsights.exe /debuglog"C:\*PathToLog\LogName*.log" | To generate Setupexe log and setupMSI logs |

> **Note**:
> 
> For WXP Insights agent version 5.26.63 onwards, the file names are updated as follows:
> 
> - `setup.exe` → `WXPInsights.exe`
> - `setuparm.exe` → `WXPInsights-arm.exe`
