PDFsam silent install and update handling note
Use MsiExec.exe /i pdfsam-basic-x.y.z-windows-x64.msi /qn /norestart for completely silent PDFsam Basic deployment, and leverage MSI properties like SKIPTHANKSPAGE=Yes and CHECK_FOR_UPDATES=false to suppress post-install UI and suppress update notifications respectively. For PDFsam Visual deployments requiring license management, pass LICENSE_KEY=”your-key” or USER_LICENSE_KEY=”your-key” as MSI properties to pre-configure licensing at install time, and optionally set LOCALE to control the application language.
For managed PDFsam updates, close PDFsam before applying MSI-based updates. PDFsam Basic can return success while PDF Split and Merge later crashes or fails to load if the app was open during update; PDFsam Visual MSI updates can return Exit Code 1 when open. Pair the existing silent-install command line with a conflicting-process rule or user deferral prompt before patching.
Use PDFsam’s official Basic product/download page as the source reference for the current Windows installer: https://pdfsam.org/pdfsam-basic/.
