UNATTENDED (SILENT) INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:
Unattended installations use an InstallShield Silent Response
File (setup.iss) to provide user input.
Running an Unattended Installation
Run SETUP.EXE as described in the installation section above, but with
the -s parameter to use the .iss file that is provided with the driver.
To use a different setup.iss file, use the -f1 parameter to provide the
full path to the file.
NOTE: When running an installation in silent mode, no messages
are displayed. Instead, a log file named Setup.log captures
installation information, including whether the installation
was successful. The -f2 parameter can be used to control
where the log file is created.
Creating a Custom Silent Response File
Run Setup.exe as directed above, but with the -r parameter to record
the install responses in setup.iss. Use the -f1 parameter to control
where the .iss file is created. The line below creates setup.iss
in the c:\tmp directory.
SETUP.EXE -r -f1c:\tmp\setup.iss
