Activinspire Silent Install 🎁 Ultimate

Setup.exe /s /v"/qn" The /s suppresses the bootstrapper UI, and /v" /qn" passes the quiet argument to the internal MSI. Advanced Configuration: Customizing Your Silent Install A basic silent install only installs default features. You will likely need to customize the deployment. Use the ADDLOCAL property to specify which components to install. Example: Installing ActivInspire with Promethean Resources msiexec /i "ActivInspire.msi" ADDLOCAL=ActivInspire,PrometheanResources,ActivDriver /qn /norestart Common ADDLOCAL Options: | Component | Description | | :--- | :--- | | ActivInspire | Core software | | ActivDriver | Required for interactive pens & boards | | PrometheanResources | Stock images, sounds, and templates | | FlipchartConverter | Tool to convert old Flipcharts | | Fonts | Promethean-specific font pack | Suppressing the License Agreement Popup Even in silent mode, some versions of ActivInspire halt if the EULA is not accepted. To bypass this, pass the license acceptance property:

$arguments = "/i `"\\server\share\ActivInspire.msi`" /qn ACCEPT_EULA=1 /norestart" Start-Process "msiexec.exe" -ArgumentList $arguments -Wait -NoNewWindow To run on a remote computer: activinspire silent install

Remember: The MSI method is superior to the EXE wrapper. Always extract the MSI, test your command line with verbose logging, and deploy via GPO or SCCM for long-term success. Use the ADDLOCAL property to specify which components

A silent install (or unattended install) is the process of installing software without any user interface (UI) pop-ups, prompts, or required clicks.
