Introduction The goal of this document is to collect instructions for performing unattended / silent installations of many popular application installers. Such instructions are useful for automating these installations. A quick word on terminology: Strictly speaking, an unattended installation is one which does not require user interaction, and a silent (or quiet) installation is one which does not display any indication of its progress. However, most people use these terms interchangeably. Here, we are interested not only in performing unattended installations, but also in waiting for those installations to finish and suppressing any reboot they might want to perform.

For example, this command: msiexec /qb /l* perl-log.txt /i ActivePerl.msi PERL_PATH=Yes PERL_EXT=Yes.is how you install ActiveState Perl, instructing the MSI package to add Perl.exe to your PATH and to associate.pl files with it. Perhaps the most important common property is the, which you can use to suppress any automatic reboot the MSI package might try to perform.
