Additional Install Options

Create an Installation Log File
The Cisco Packet Tracer installer offers you the option to generate a log file during installation to assist with troubleshooting should any problems arise. You can use the following commands to create a verbose log file with details about the installation.

Cisco Packet Tracer 32-bit (EXE) Silent Install with Logging

CiscoPacketTracer_XXX_Windows_32bit_setup.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /LOG="%WINDIR%\Temp\PacketTracer-Install.log"

Cisco Packet Tracer 64-bit (EXE) Silent Install with Logging

CiscoPacketTracer_XXX_Windows_64bit_setup.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART /LOG="%WINDIR%\Temp\PacketTracer-Install.log"

Change Default Installation Directory
You can change the default installation directory by using the following command line parameters. In this example, I’m installing Cisco Packet Tracer to “C:\CiscoPacketTracer”

Cisco Packet Tracer 32-bit (EXE)

CiscoPacketTracer_XXX_Windows_32bit_setup.exe /DIR=C:\PacketTracer /VERYSILENT /NORESTART

Cisco Packet Tracer 64-bit (EXE)
