This type of installation can be run from any Windows® command prompt or via any other means of launching commands such as from Microsoft® System Management Server (SMS) or other management platform. Please note that SysInfo™ does not provide any reporting data to these management platforms, but can easily be installed and managed as an installed application.
The following command line options can be used for a silent, no user input installation:
