Downloading and Installing OTG 2 for Windows
Follow the steps in this guide to learn how to perform a command-line installation of WebTitan OTG 2 for Windows on a single machine.
The steps below describe a command-line installation of WebTitan OTG 2 for Windows on a single machine. As part of the installation, you need to create a command script. The installation instructions provide a sample script that you can edit with your own parameters.
Click here to download the WebTitan OTG 2 for Windows install file (setup.msi). The current version of OTG 2 for Windows is 2.1.4. You need to know what folder this install file saves to in later steps (default: Downloads folder).
Retrieve the OTG 2 install key from your WebTitan Cloud. Go to Settings > Account and note the OTG Install Key:
Open a command prompt with administrator privileges:
Click into your taskbar search box and type cmd.
Right-click on Command Prompt and choose Run as Administrator.
Click Yes and the command prompt opens running with administrator privileges.
From the command prompt, change directory to the same directory as the install file you downloaded to in Step 1. To change directory, type
cdfollowed by the file path you want to change to. For example:cd c:\users\yourusername\downloads\Next, create the command script for installation. Base your script on the example shown below, but with parameters edited for your WebTitan Cloud.
