Installing the Windows Agent—Silent Install
The Windows Agent provides a silent install option, which requires an .iss properties file that contains the variable values representing the information you normally are prompted to specify during the installation.
You create the .iss file as well as run the silent install from a command prompt.
To create the .iss file
- Open a command prompt and change to the directory where the setup.exe file resides.
- Issue this command:
setup.exe /r
- Complete the installation procedure as described in Installing Windows Agent.
- When the installation is complete, locate the setup.iss file and rename it, as appropriate.
To run the Windows Agent silent install
- Open a command prompt and change to the directory where the setup.exe file resides.
- Issue this command:
setup.exe /s /f1"<full path><fname>.iss
