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.
