administrator must make the following modifications:

Copy everything from the disc or disk image that contains the installer to an empty
folder on the local hard disk.

installer creates a "setup.xml" file in the folder where the installer is located.

Open the "silent.bat" file in a text editor and make sure the path of the "setup.xml"
file is in the first line as follows: '[network path of setup.exe file]' /s
/v'/qn'
4
Share the folder that contains the installer and the "setup.xml" file with users who are
licensed to install QuarkXPress.
