Installing Desktop Web Proxy in Hidden Mode
Installing Desktop Web Proxy (DWP) in hidden mode prevents users from making changes to DWP. When you install DWP in hidden mode both of the following occur:
Using hidden mode, you can specify MSI parameters to remove the Change and Remove buttons, or remove the DWP plug-in entirely from the Add or Remove Programs option of the Windows Control Panel. Logging and diagnostics are not supported in hidden mode - they are supported only if you reinstall DWP with the regular installation, without the hidden switch.
Note: If DWP is being managed by the portal, you must set the portal option Hide Icon in Tray, even though you are installing DWP in hidden mode. For information, see Hide Icon in Tray in under Entering Desktop Web Proxy Settings at the Account Level.
To install DWP in hidden mode:
Using ARP Commands With MSI parameters
Advanced users who are experienced with MSI package modification can enforce higher levels of invisibility with any of the ARP commands, using MSI parameters. For example:
Msiexec /i
Additional MIS parameters are described in the following table:
MSI Parameters | Description |
ARPNOMODIFY={''|1} |
|
ARPNOREMOVE={''|1} |
|
ARPSYSTEMCOMPONENT={''|1} |
|
For more details about these parameters, see Microsoft's Developer Network (MSDN) Library.
Note: To restart a hidden DWP either restart the computer, or use Administrative Tools' Services console to restart the DWP Local Proxy Service. To restore MSI parameters to their original settings, uninstall DWP and re-install it without the hidden switch. For more information, see Uninstalling Hidden Desktop Web Proxy.
