Performing a silent installation

cumbersome.
Preparing for silent installation: Windows
To enable Windows users to perform a silent installation on their computers, an
administrator must make the following modifications:
Using the local copy of the installer, install QuarkXPress on the local hard 1
disk. The 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 2
“setup.xml” file is in the first line as follows:
"[network path of setup.exe file] /s /v"/qn ALLUSERS=1"
"[network path of vcredist_x64.exe file]" /q
Share the folder that contains the installer and the “setup.xml” file with users 3
who are licensed to install QuarkXPress.
Silent installation: Windows
To perform a silent installation on Windows, an end user must follow these
steps:
Navigate to the shared folder that contains the “setup.xml” and “silent.bat” 1
files.
Double-click the “silent.bat” file and follow the instructions on the screen. 2
