	silent installation and/or record installation progress in a log file.
	Each option is preceded by a forward slash (/) and is not
	case-sensitive.

	of the available options.

	„ A name, which must appear in uppercase letters.

		values must appear in uppercase letters, but some, such as True
		and False, must appear in mixed case.
