How to install and uninstall ‘Matlab 2013b’ Silently.

If you have .ISO file as a source then extract it with ‘isoopener_setup.exe’

After extracting we will get files and folders as mentioned below

Now to install the MATLAB we need to pass below command:

setup.exe" -inputFile   “Path of installer_input.txt”

installer_input.txt file will be present in the source folder only.

Before you  entering the above command to install silently you need to edit the ‘installer_input.txt’ file for below values:

destinationFolder=C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013b

agreeToLicense=yes

mode=silent

licensePath= C:\ProgramFiles%\MATLAB\R2013b\licenses\ License.lic

If you want to copy the license file after installation (Post Installation) then comment the above line as..

# licensePath=C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013b\network.lic

Or before installation u need to copy this file to same location.

After installation you can copy the provided license file to “C:\ProgramFiles%\MATLAB\R2013b\licenses\”

“C:\ProgramFiles%\MATLAB\R2013b\licenses\License.lic”

Once u done the changes as mentioned above in the ‘installer_input.txt’ file

Enter the below command to install silently:

setup.exe" -inputFile   “Path of installer_input.txt”

For uninstalling MATLAB use the below command:

"%SystemDrive%\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013b\uninstall\bin\win64\uninstall.exe" -inputFile "path to uninstaller_input.txt"

Eg for path location: "XXX\R2013b_Windows\utils\uninstall\uninstaller_input.txt"

Before entering the above command please do the below changes in the ‘uninstaller_input.txt’ file:

outputFile=C:\Windows\debug\MSIPackages\Mathworks_Matlab_2013a_uninstall.log (Path for ‘outputFile’ is optional you can give any path.)

mode=silent

Then enter below command to uninstall silently.

"%SystemDrive%\Program Files\MATLAB\R2013b\uninstall\bin\win64\uninstall.exe" -inputFile "path to uninstaller_input.txt"
