Invoke the Silent Install

You can invoke the silent installation of the agent on a Windows server using the response file (*.iss) with appropriate values for this agent installation. You must be an Administrator to run the silent install program.

To invoke a silent install

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Navigate to the directory where the response file is saved.

   The default directory is C:\WINDOWS (or C:\WINNT).

3. Verify the agent installer is in the current directory. You should see a response similar in format to ca-elmagent-12.0.37.10.exe.
4. Run the following command to silently install an agent:

   ca-elmagent-x.x.x.x /s /f1"responsefile.iss"
   

   An example command line is, ca-elmagent-12.0.37.10 /s /f1"elmagentresponse.iss"

   The agent is installed.
