A: A silent install is used to install a software application without the need of interacting with a user interface (UI). This method is most requested by IT departments to quickly install multiple instances of the same Client or Server program on multiple machines.
A: The DW Spectrum development team has stated that there are no current plans for creating .msi installation files.
While the following methods may be workarounds that the developers say can possibly work, they are not methods that are actively supported by our support team and should be treated as “try at your own risk”.
In the command below, “%FILE%” is a placeholder that represents of the absolute path to the executable (.exe) installation file. This command will install software and send the installation standard output to the “%LOG_FILE%” path. The last portion may be omitted if logging is unnecessary for your setup.
start /wait%FILE% /silent /norestart -l %LOG_FILE%.log
