2.1 Installing

2.1.1 Setup command line parameters for silent install

Setup provides a number of parameters that can be used in combination during silent install. It is required that a space is
used to separate the parameters. For example, if you install the MSDN Library via command line using the following
parameters:

setup.exe /q/full

the setup UI will not be suppressed and will install all features.

To resolve this issue:

In order to install all features silently, use the following command line:

setup.exe /q /full

To install the minimum feature set silently, use the following command line:
