B.1 Understanding Silent Installation

Silent installation allows you to install AppManager components without having to interact with the setup program. From a command prompt, you instruct the Windows Installer package associated with a component to perform the installation. You can specify only the required parameters and default settings, or specify additional parameters and alternate settings.

Before you silently run the Windows Installer package for a component, you must complete the following tasks:

  • Manually install the required runtime libraries for the components you are installing.

    For more information about installing the runtime libraries, see Installing Runtime Libraries.

  • If the computer from which you will run the Windows Installer package has the User Access Control (UAC) feature enabled, ensure the computer is authorized to run the package.

    For more information about ensuring the computer is authorized, see Running Windows Installer Packages When UAC is Enabled.
