Comodo Silent Installation Switches

Posted on by

The silent install client includes all previous updates, and can also be used for standard interactive installations. For information on silently installing RightFax 9.4 see Knowledge Base article 18237662, 'RightFax - Performing a Silent Installation of. For example, the Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (NSIS) by default creates installers that support a /S switch to force silent installation with default settings. Version 3 of misexec.exe, the Windows Installer application, has a /passive option that makes it install an MSI package automatically but shows a progress dialog box. I could find some switches in another theard but really helpful would be if I could create response file (e.g. Setup.exe -r -f1C: nvidia setup.iss) If there are any other switches beside the ones I already have in the other theard please let me know.

You can configure which CCS components are installed by applying a configuration profile.
  • Note – The option to change the CCS version is only visible if enabled in portal settings. If not enabled then the 'Default version' is deployed.

You need to restart the endpoint to complete the agent installation. You have the following reboot options:

Users can restart the endpoint immediately by clicking 'Reboot now', or postpone it by picking a time in the 'Remind me in' drop-down.
