1. Configuring Silent Installation

In order to run a silent installation you need to do three things
1. Configure a file which contains the default setting required for your
installation.
2. Run the installation file with parameters to run silently and also to tell
the installation what file to read the setting from.
3. FlexView 3.1.67 or newer version.

1.3. Console Name

If CNAME= line is not used in the DefaultOptions.ini file, then FlexView will
use the Microsoft Windows Computer Name and truncate it to maximum of 12
characters and use as the FlexView Console Name.

Every FlexView PC MUST use a unique Console Name which is a string
between 6 and 12 characters and is normally entered during installation, when
FlexView is not installed already on a PC. If there are two or more FlexView PCs
with same Console Name trying to connect to RealFlex, only the first PC will connect
successfully and the subsequent FlexView PC will have its connection rejected.
