Installation guide

Running the Instalier Noninteractively
• Controlling visibility — By default, when you run the installer in
silent mode, it still displays the dialog boxes as it progresses through the
installation, even though no interactive response is required. If you want
to suppress the display of these dialog boxes during a silent installation,
set the value ofthe visible parameter to false.
• Requesting an output log — To request that the installer create an
output file that reports on the status of the installation, specify the full
pathname as the value ofthe outlog parameter.
3 Save your changes to the file.
4 Run the installer (setup. exe), using the - if flag to specify the initialization
file as a command-line argument. You must specify the full pathname of
the initialization file. For example, click the Start menu and select the
Run option. In the Run dialog box, enter
setup.exe -if C:\temp\my_install.ini
