Client Silent Installation

The Client silent installation receives input from the InstallShield Silent answer file (.iss file) and runs the installation without user input. The format of the answer file is similar to an .ini file, but has an .iss extension.

Recording the Client Answer File

This section explains how to record the client answer file. The answer file contains all answers to selections made during a recorded installation. A silent installation uses the recorded answers as input instead of interactive user input to dialog boxes during the normal installation process.

Example: Record the Client Answer File

Enter this command from the command line to record your answers to the client Installation dialog boxes. InstallShield records all your setup choices in the file Setup.iss and places it by default into the Windows folder.

CloudInsight8.2.5_Client.exe /r

InstallShield records all your setup choices in Setup.iss and places the file it by default into the Windows folder.

Note: If you do not want to use the default name and location of the answer file, run the command CloudInsight8.2.5_Client.exe /r /f1”<location and name of answer file>.iss” command.

For example,

CloudInsight8.2.5_Client.exe/r /f1"c:\Silent\client.iss"
