The Setup program accepts optional command line parameters. These can be useful to system administrators, and to other programs calling the Setup program.
| /SP- | Disables the startup prompt. |
| /SILENT, /VERYSILENT | Instructs Setup to be silent or very silent. When Setup is silent the wizard and the background window are not displayed but the installation progress window is. When a setup is very silent this installation progress window is not displayed.
If a restart is necessary and the '/NORESTART' command isn't used (see below) and Setup is silent, it will display a Reboot now? message box. If it's very silent it will reboot without asking. |
| /SUPPRESSMSGBOXES | Instructs Setup to suppress message boxes. Only has an effect when combined with '/SILENT' and '/VERYSILENT'. |
| /NOCANCEL | Prevents the user from canceling during the installation process, by disabling the Cancel button and ignoring clicks on the close button. Useful along with '/SILENT' or '/VERYSILENT'. |
| /NORESTART | Instructs Setup not to reboot even if it's necessary. |
| /RESTARTEXITCODE=exit code | Specifies the custom exit code that Setup is to return when a restart is needed. Useful along with '/NORESTART'. Also see Setup Exit Codes. |
