Internet Explorer 11 (IE11) Command Line Switches
The command line is simple and a restart will be required even if you use the /norestart argument. Since I am running this with a notification I prefer the /passive switch. The /quiet and /closeprograms are good too and can be used together.
When installing on x86 Windows use: IE11-Windows6.1-x86-en-us.exe /passive
When installing on x64 Windows use: IE11-Windows6.1-x64-en-us.exe /passive
Still not sure what to do? Use the help anytime IE11-Windows6.1-x64-en-us.exe /help
Here are a few more arguments you may not have thought of:
|
/passive |
Run the installation without any input from the user. |
|
/quiet |
Identical to /passive, however, do not show any user interface. |
|
/update-no |
Do not check for Internet Explorer updates. |
|
/closeprograms |
Close programs automatically to allow installation without rebooting the system. |
|
/norestart |
Do not restart after installation has completed. |
|
/forcerestart |
If a restart is required after installation, restart automatically. |
|
/log:<path> |
Create a log file at :<path>. |
|
/x:<path> |
Extract the installation package contents at :<path>. |
