MSI packages are available for both x86 (32 bit) and x64 (64 bit) processor architectures. We'll use screenshots from an x64 installation below (the 32 bit installer is very similar). Show
Installation UIThis is the typical mode of installation. To start the installer, just click on the mariadb-...msi WelcomeLicense AgreementClick on "I accept the terms" Custom SetupHere, you can choose what features to install. By default, all features are installed with the exception of the debug symbols. If the "Database instance" feature is selected, the installer will create a database instance, by default running as a service. In this case the installer will present additional dialogs to control various database properties. Note that you do not necessarily have to create an instance at this stage. For example, if you already have MySQL or MariaDB databases running as services, you can just upgrade them during the installation. Also, you can create additional database instances after the installation, with the NOTE: By default, if you install a database instance, the data directory will be in the "data" folder under the installation root. To change the data directory location, select "Database instance" in the feature tree, and use the "Browse" button to point to another place. This dialog is shown if you selected the "Database instance" feature. Here, you can set the password for the "root" database user and specify whether root can access database from remote machines. The "Create anonymous account" setting allows for anonymous (non-authenticated) users. It is off by default and it is not recommended to change this setting. Other Database Properties
Ready to InstallAt this point, all installation settings are collected. Click on the "Install" button. EndInstallation is finished now. If you have upgradable instances of MariaDB/MySQL, running as services, this dialog will present a "Do you want to upgrade existing instances" checkbox (if selected, it launches the Upgrade Wizard post-installation). If you installed a database instance as service, the service will be running already. Installation will add some entries in the Start Menu:
Uninstall UIIn the Explorer applet "Programs and Features" (or "Add/Remove programs" on older Windows), find the entry for MariaDB, choose Uninstall/Change and click on the "Remove" button in the dialog below. If you installed a database instance, you will need to decide if you want to remove or keep the data in the database directory. Silent InstallationThe MSI installer supports silent installations as well. In its simplest form silent installation with all defaults can be performed from an elevated command prompt like this: msiexec /i path-to-package.msi /qn Note: the installation is silent due to msiexe.exe's /qn switch (no user interface), if you omit the switch, the installation will have the full UI. PropertiesSilent installations also support installation properties (a property would correspond for example to checked/unchecked state of a checkbox in the UI, user password, etc). With properties the command line to install the MSI package would look like this: msiexec /i path-to-package.msi [PROPERTY_1=VALUE_1 ... PROPERTY_N=VALUE_N] /qn The MSI installer package requires property names to be all capitals and contain only English letters. By convention, for a boolean property, an empty value means "false" and a non-empty is "true". MariaDB installation supports the following properties: FeaturesFeature is a Windows installer term for a unit of installation. Features can be selected and deselected in the UI in the feature tree in the "Custom Setup" dialog. Silent installation supports adding features with the special property msiexec /i path-to-package.msi [PROPERTY_1=VALUE_1 ... PROPERTY_N=VALUE_N] /qn3 and removing features with msiexec /i path-to-package.msi [PROPERTY_1=VALUE_1 ... PROPERTY_N=VALUE_N] /qn4 Features in the MariaDB installer: Silent Installation ExamplesAll examples here require running as administrator (and elevated command line in Vista and later)
Silent UninstallTo uninstall silently, use the msiexec /i path-to-package.msi [PROPERTY_1=VALUE_1 ... PROPERTY_N=VALUE_N] /qn5 property with msiexec: msiexec /i path-to-package.msi REMOVE=ALL /qn To keep the data directory during an uninstall, you will need to pass an additional parameter: msiexec /i path-to-package.msi REMOVE=ALL CLEANUPDATA="" /qn Installation LogsIf you encounter a bug in the installer, the installer logs should be used for diagnosis. Please attach verbose logs to the bug reports you create. To create a verbose installer log, start the installer from the command line with the msiexec /i path-to-package.msi [PROPERTY_1=VALUE_1 ... PROPERTY_N=VALUE_N] /qn6 switch, like so: msiexec.exe /i path-to-package.msi /l*v path-to-logfile.txt Running 32 and 64 Bit Distributions on the Same MachineIt is possible to install 32 and 64 bit packages on the same Windows x64. Apart from testing, an example where this feature can be useful is a development scenario, where users want to run a 64 bit server and develop both 32 and 64 bit client components. In this case the full 64 bit package can be installed, including a database instance plus development-related features (headers and libraries) from the 32 bit package. What installation option for Windows Server does not have a graphical user interface?With Server Core, the standard graphical user interface (the Desktop Experience) is not installed; you manage the server from the command line using PowerShell, the Server Configuration tool (SConfig), or by remote methods.
Does Windows Server Core have a GUI?While maintaining the capabilities required to support traditional business applications and role-based workloads, Server Core does not have a traditional desktop interface. Instead, Server Core is designed to be managed remotely through the command line, PowerShell, or a GUI tool (like RSAT or Windows Admin Center).
Which Windows Server installation option has a non GUI management interface quizlet?When you choose the Server Core installation option: There is no GUI shell. There are no GUI management tools.
What is Server Core installation and server with GUI?A Server Core installation provides a minimal environment for running specific server roles, which reduces the maintenance and management requirements and the attack surface for those server roles. A server running a Server Core installation supports the following server roles: Active Directory Domain Services (AD DS)
