To ask the silent installation of a lot of friends, and most of the situation, the concept of silent installation and the principle is not clear, so write a small article, popularize knowledge.
First clear the concept of silent installation, silent installation refers to the installation without any user intervention, directly by default settings installed.
Then the problem comes, some friends are based on the GUI, want to install third-party software, do not have to deceive users to install, but also feel that the installation of pop-up is very difficult to see, this demand, generally I would recommend the use of custom PRQ way to handle, custom PRQ will show the current installation progress, But it does not pop up the interface, or more beautiful.

Some of the needs of friends is not to let users know what is installed, such as some drivers or support software, it may be necessary to use a script to install.
The script installation itself is very simple, is a sentence launchappandwait (call parameters, call the third-party installation package, installation parameters);
The trouble is that in calling parameters here, often a friend asked me "installation parameters" with Laaw_option_hidden, why the call can also see the interface, here to clarify that the point is that Laaw_option_hidden is useful for batch processing, useful for text files, However, executable files such as EXE, MSI and so on are useless; to silently install an executable, you need to "invoke parameters" to work.
If the. msi installation package is called, then/q/n will generally work , and the. exe installation package is more troublesome, what is the silent parameter, completely depends on the installation package of the programmer's mood, so some friends come back to ask us this EXE installation package of the silent parameters is what ah, we are unable to answer, generally recommended to find this installation package there is no white paper, the formal installation package, the white paper will be described in If there is no white paper, you can only self-blessing, and see if I or the like can work.
