The first thing that needs to be done is to create the configuration file that we will use.

1. Star “setup.exe”
2. Click “next”
3. Click “I accept”
4. Click “Choose an installation option”
5. Click “Custom Components”
6. Select the product that you want to install
7. Update destination folder if needed by clicking on the “destination folder” link
8. Click “next”
9. Click on the component that you have picked to setup the different parameters as “server name” and so on. When done apply your changes.
10. Click “save configuration”
11. Pick a good location, name and save the xml file

You can create as many configuration files as you want for different purposes. Now, you can run the silent install by simply doing start -> run -> [setupExepath] /quiet /config [configfilepath.xml]. Be sure to take a look to the log file, to ensure everything went OK.

Example D:\setup.exe /quiet /config C:\configfiles\config1.xml /log C:\log.txt
