The ARGUS Enterprise Minimal Installer can be run interactively by opening AEMinimal.msi. The interactive mode
is similar to the full installation.
The ARGUS Enterprise Configuration utility does not automatically run after the installation completes. The ARGUS
Enterprise Configuration utility can be run from the Start menu.

line parameters are the same for all relevant versions of ARGUS Enterprise (9.1, 9.5, 9.5.1, 10.0, 10.1, 10.5 and
10.6).
First of all you need to run the cmd.exe from Start menu, and navigate to the appropriate folder containing the
AEminimal.msi.
Then run the following command based on your environment (32 bit (X86), 64 bit (X64))).
