Can I perform a silent install of Actify Products
ID: 315 Category: Installation Status: Resolved Views: 1635


Question:
Can I perform a silent install of Actify Products, without having to attend to any single installation to any single machine?

Solution:
Disclaimer: Actify  does not support any installation procedure that is different from the installation provided on our website or on the CD we send to customers and partners. We are not responsible, nor we will support any problem deriving from installations that have been customized
For all Actify products silent installation mode is enabled. The most recent products have been built with Windows Installer 3.0 and support a number of different options for silent install. The most common for silent install is

path/product.exe /q

Older Importers may need the option "/s" instead as they were built with a different installer
