On Windows, you can set up a silent installation (also called an unattended install) so that your users do not have to type responses to the prompts of the installation program. You can set up a silent installation for the following components:
You can also set up a silent installation for the documentation; see Setting up a silent install of the documentation.
To perform a silent install, take the following steps:
setup.exe -r
This will record your responses to the installation prompts into a file called setup.iss, which is stored in c:\WINNT. If you select Reboot at the finish, the reboot will be recorded, and subsequent silent installations will also reboot.
setup.exe -s -f1C:\TEMP\setup.iss
