Installation Script

The application setup script should include this command:

setup.exe /s /v"/qn /norestart /lv c:\install.log"

where

setup.exe is the executable for the appropriateCrystal Ball installer. If you downloaded your version of Crystal Ball from the Web, the filename can include the version number, such as cb111.exe, and that name should appear in the script.
/s = silent mode
/v = pass arguments to msiexec
/qn = do not display the UI
/norestart = do not restart
/lv <logfile> = verbose output, which writes the file c:\install.log

To add a progress bar, insert /passive as an argument between /qn and /norestart.

Note:

Using the silent install on Windows Vista is similar, however you have to right-click and choose Run As Administrator when opening the Vista Command Prompt.

Because the arguments passed in with the /v switch are arguments to the Windows Installer (.msi), you can use the following to perform a silent install with the Windows Installer (if you have extracted Crystal Ball .msi from setup.exe):

msiexec /i "Crystal Ball .msi" /qn /norestart /lv c:\install.log
