ADA Silent Installation

A silent or unattended install is defined as the installation of a software program that requires no user interaction.

The Sigmafine setup kits are built using InstallShield and include the ability to run in silent mode using command line input parameters, based on the InstallShield guidelines for unattended installations.

To run the Sigmafine setup kit in silent mode, the following command line input parameters are required:

"\<Setup file name\>" /s /v"/qn \<product specifics input parameters\>"

Where:

  • \<Setup file name> is the name of the setup kit. In this case is Sigmafine Advanced Diagnostic Add-In 4.7 SP1.exe

  • /s – Tells to InstallShield that you are running the setup in silent mode.

  • /v - Tells to InstallShield to pass command-line options and values of public properties through to Msiexec.exe (Windows Installer).

  • /qn is a Windows Installer switch indicating to run with no UI.

  • \<product specifics input parameters> are product specifics input parameters.
