Quiet installation

A quiet installation suppresses messages and requires no user input. To install Open Client in quiet mode, create a recording session, then run the setup in silent mode.

To create a recording session

  1. From the command line, enter the following, where /r indicates recording mode and /f1 indicates the name of the recording session file:

    setup /r /f1"<filespec>"

    For example, setup /r /f1"c:\sessions\setup.iss"

    Note: The quotation marks are required.

  2. Run the installation procedure.
  3. You may also want to create an uninstall session. To create an uninstall session, use the same format. For example,

    setup /r /f1"c:\sessions\uninstall.iss"

    When this finishes, a maintenance menu is displayed. Select Uninstall.

To run setup in quiet mode

On a machine on which Open Client has not been installed, enter the following on the command line, where /s indicates silent (quiet) mode:

setup /s /f1"<filespec>"

For example, setup /s /f1"c:\sessions\setup.iss"

Note: The quotation marks are required.

When Setup runs in silent mode, the Setup icon appears on the Task bar. This is the only indication that the install is running. No messages or dialog boxes appear.
