You can use the command line window to install LabVIEW-built installers silently—without user interaction or displaying progress.

Before you begin this procedure, create a LabVIEW-built installer that contains the content you want to distribute.

Prerequisites
Creating Installers with LabVIEW
Note LabVIEW can build two types of installers: an installer and a package. You can build either with a build specification.

To install a package, refer to the Package Manager User Manual.

To install an installer silently, refer to the following information.

Tip If you use the command line window to install a LabVIEW-built installer silently, consider the size of the installer. Because the installer does not display a progress bar during installation, it may be difficult to determine the progress of the installer. Therefore, a larger installer will take more time, and you will not be able to determine how much longer the installer will run.

To install a LabVIEW-built installer silently, complete the following steps.

  1. Open the command line window.
  2. Enter the following command to run the installer silently:

    path\install.exe /q /acceptlicenses yes

    where path is the path to install.exe

    If you have customized the installer name in the installer properties, replace install.exe with your installer name.

    Note If your LabVIEW version does not support customizing the installer name, the installer name is setup.exe. In this case, use the following command: path\setup.exe /q /acceptlicenses yes.
