Can I delete dialog boxes?

Hi, I am running a freeware version of Adv Inst. 6.2

Im creating an .msi from a .exe installer for one of our applications.

We want to install the application via .msi by running a silent install, where we deploy it using SMS and the company users wont even know that it was installed on their workstations.

The problem is that the installer pops up dialog boxes when double clicking on the install .msi (PrepareDlg, WelcomDlg, FolderDlg, etc)

how can I get rid of these dialogs and pre-set these settings so the installer runs through and installs the package without any user interaction. Do I need to buy the full version (Pro or Enterprise?)

thanks.

Hi,

In order to obtain an installation that does not require user interaction, you could check the Limit to basic user interface (simple progress and error handling) checkbox in the Project Settings -> Install Parameters page of your AI project.

Please refer to the following page for further reference:

A completely silent installation can be obtained by running the MSI from command line, with the parameter /qn:
