On Microsoft Windows operating systems, a silent install allows you to do multiple client installations at one time. You can run the client installer in a “silent” mode from the command line by adding the -i parameter to the command. Alternatively, you can point to a text file called Installer.properties which includes the directive INSTALLER_UI=silent.
The Installer.properties file can also specify parameters to pass to the installer, such as the destination client installation folder, the root folder for the SDK installation, which components to install, and whether or not a restart is needed.
