A silent installation runs without displaying an interface or prompting you for input.
You can do silent installations of Performance Expert Agent to simplify
the process of installing it on multiple computers.
Before you begin
Before you install Performance Expert Agent silently, you must first
create a response file. A response file is a file that contains the
properties and values that drive the installation. You create a response file by running
the installation wizard or console mode with the following command-line option:
-r response_file_name. When you complete
the installation, the information that you entered in the installation wizard or console
mode is recorded in the response file. You will use this file to install the product
silently on other computers.
