Summary

When deploying QAS Pro Plug & Go to a large number of users, it may be useful to configure the setup in advance and perform the installation without user interaction.

Solution

To install QAS Pro Plug’n’Go silently the following needs to be observed:

Run setup.exe with a -r command line parameter to record the required input. A response file (setup.iss) will be created in the Windows directory. Setup.iss should then be placed in the in the same directory as Setup.exe and then the install will be performed silently if setup -s is run from the command line.

When this is complete the data directory will need to be set in the configuration file/tool on each person's PC, as this may not be able to be set with the silent install. However it is possible to copy to CD image to a PC and alter the configuration file before installation; all users will then have identical configuration files.
