Command Line Installation for Windows Administrators

This guide helps you silently install and run WorkComposer with administrative privileges—perfect for remote deployment and zero user interaction.

1. Enable the Fusion Mode (Stealth Mode)

First, head to your Organization Settings and enable Stealth Mode. This allows WorkComposer to start in the background without showing a visible window.

2. Disable the Indicator (Optional)

For even less user interaction, you may also disable the horizontal indicator bar after enabling Stealth Mode.

3. Download the Installer

Visit the WorkComposer download page and download the installer. Upload it to the target computer.

4. Silent Installation via Command Line

To install WorkComposer silently, run the installer with the /S switch in your terminal:

"C:\...\workcomposer-windows-installer.exe" /S

This will install the app in about 10–20 seconds without user prompts.

5. First-Time Launch with User Credentials

After installing, you'll need to run WorkComposer under the actual user account using the runas command. This ensures it registers for autostart and sets up a local DB for that specific user.

Replace windows_user_username, workcomposer_username, and workcomposer_password accordingly.

runas /user:windows_user_username "C:\Program Files\WorkComposer\WorkComposer.exe --wcstealth --wcusername workcomposer_username --wcpassword workcomposer_password"

Repeat this step for every user profile you wish to configure.

6. Done

Once complete, WorkComposer will auto-start in the background every time the user logs in. You can now track activity in your WorkComposer reports.
