|---|---|
/? | Displays the usage options for installation parameters. |
/Q | Silent Install, install runs in a quiet mode without any user interface. This parameter is recommended when deploying the software installation using an IT
tool or script, and don’t expect any error or restart messages. When using this
parameter, check the error codes, and respond as needed. For example, if the
installation returns error code 1641, then the IT tool or script should restart the
computer and relaunch the installation after restart. This parameter is required if /QS is not specified. |
/QS | Unattended Install, install runs in a quiet simple mode and shows progress through
the UI, it does not accept any input but still shows errors or restart messages. When using this parameter, the installation will stop and display a prompt if there
are errors or restart messages. For example, if an immediate restart is required to
complete the install, a restart message will be displayed to confirm the restart.
Installation resumes automatically from the point of interruption after restart. This parameter is required if /Q is not specified. |
/IAcceptAllLicenseTerms | Acknowledges acceptance of the license terms. This parameter is required for /Q or /QS parameters. |
/AutoRestart | Automatically restarts the computer after the installation is complete. Used when a
restart is required to complete the installation. This parameter is optional. If this parameter is not used silent install (/Q) will
return either error code 1641 or 3010 if a restart is required, and unattended
install (/QS) will result in a confirmation prompt that must be agreed to before the
installation is completed. |
/SetupLanguage="value" | Specifies which language will be displayed during the install process. The value must be one of the following:
For example, /SetupLanguage="ENU". This parameter is optional. If this parameter is not used, the default language is
the current user or operating system user interface language. |
/Record | Records the installation options chosen to a recording file. When applied, the
installation process automatically creates a recording file <Product>.REC that is
stored in this path: %USERPROFILE%\Desktop. This parameter is optional. |
/Playback="value" | Plays back a recording file to specify the installation options. The value is the
full path of the REC file to be used. For example, /Playback="C:\Users\<Username>\Documents\<Product>.REC". This parameter is optional. |
