Command line parameters for the installer executable are not required for every deployment, but an installation will fail if required parameters are missing. The batch file includes commands with the correct install parameters and will run the installation in a basic UI mode (with a progress bar) by default.
Note: The batch file includes additional commands for silent install and silent uninstall. These commands are commented out. Remove the comments to enable them.
Some parameters in the following reference table appear in both an abbreviated form and a longer one for readability.
