Silent client install

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 3 Aug 2005

Q:
Is it possible to completely install the Client silently, with automate.ini? When I run the setup.exe there are two screens shown to the user. They must click Next on the Welcome Screen and accept the License Agreement.

A:
You can use the automate.ini and the setup.ini to automate most of the install. The only ways I know of to completely hide it is either to install with ZENworks or to use something like the "Installshield Package for the Web" or an ISS file.

See TID 10075450 for details on how to create and use the ISS files.
