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: activinspire silent install
Error 1: The Installer Hangs at 99% Cause: The ActivDriver installation is waiting for a hardware device (a connected Promethean board) that isn't present. Fix: Use the property DISABLE_DEVICE_DETECTION=1 : activinspire silent install
