Install Windows Client Using Silent Installation

You can also install the standalone Windows Client using silent installation procedure. Installers that are created by InstallShield recognize the /r, /s, /sms, /f1, and /f2 switches. The installer itself is invariably named setup.exe. By default, the Windows Client installation directory provides the response file (setup.iss).

Follow these steps:

  1. Navigate to the Windows Client directory from the command prompt.
  2. Run the setup.exe /s command.

    This command performs an unattended installation.

Note: Using the setup.exe /s /sms command causes the installer to pause until the installation completes.

Create Customized Response File from Installation

The setup.exe /r /f1<filename-iss> switch allows you to specify a fully qualified alternate location for the setup.iss file. Proceed through the dialogs and complete the installation.

Important! There must be no space between the /f1 switch and the file location (<<file name-iss>>). This switch works both with /r to create the file and with /s to read it.

Using Customized Response File During Silent Installation

The setup.exe /s /f1<filename-iss> /f2<filename-log> switch specifies a log file location.

Note: Using the /sms flag causes the installer to pause until the installation completes.

Important! There must be no space between the switch and the log file location<<filename-log>>.
