Silent Installation

Personal Communications is installed silently by passing command-line parameters through setup.exe to the MSI (Windows Installer database) package. When running a silent installation, the user does not provide input via dialogs or see a progress bar during the installation process. Instead, installation occurs automatically using either a typical configuration or a custom configuration created during initialization file processing.
Note: When migrating through silent installation, all active Personal Communications sessions and actions will be closed without any prompting.

For details on initialization file processing, see Installing Personal Communications Using an Initialization (response) File. For information on performing a silent installation using setup.exe command-line parameters, see IPWI Command line parameters.
