Question
How to deploy a software package silently.
Answer
For SWD and MSI based distribution packages:
In the delivery method, under "Feedback and Timing", choose the option of "Hide all feedback from user".
For packages based on executable packages:
All executable installers are different and support unique command line switches and answer files. There is no single way to silence all executable.
Methods for automating and silencing an executable install must be obtained from the vendor. Once this information is known, the executable distribution package can be configured to silence the install.
Running the .exe with a /? will sometimes show available options for installation. If there is a command line option to silence the executable, it can be added to the command line in the Install/Uninstall section of the distribution package.
