Working with silent installations
You can run Installation Manager in silent mode to install, update,
and uninstall packages.
- Installing silently
You can run Installation Manager in silent mode to install, update, and uninstall packages. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, Installation Manager UI is not visible; all commands are defined in a response file.
- Silent installation commands
If you want to use the silent installation capabilities of Installation Manager, you need to create a response file that contains all of the commands that Installation Manager must run.
- Reference: Sample response file
You can use an XML-based response file to specify predefined information such as silent installation preferences, repository locations, installation profiles, and so on. Response files are beneficial for teams and companies that want to install installation packages silently and to standardize the locations and preferences for installation packages.
- Silent install log files
You can use silent install log files to examine the results of a silent installation session.
