Performing a Silent Install

If you have to perform multiple system installations, you may want to take advantage of the MT 7 software silent install.

To begin, you must create a silent install script that contains the recorded installation instructions. You create this script by running the Setup program in record mode. During a silent install, the Setup program receives input from the recorded install script rather than from a user. Once you record an installation script, you can run it on as many similar systems as you like.

The first step in producing a silent installation is to record your standard installation. Open a command line window and set your working directory to the directory containing the MT 7 for Windows® setup program. Issue the comm and "setup -r" and run the installation normally.

When the installation finishes, it creates a recording file, setup.iss, in your Windows® system directory (such as C:\Windows). Copy this file to the directory containing the MT 7 for Windows® setup program.

To run the silent installation, simply issue the command "setup -s". This replays the installation you recorded above.
