For deployment of the Smart Client using GPO or SMS, The Smart Client Full Setup Program supports command line parameters that allow you to configure the Setup Program to perform an unattended (no user interaction required), silent (no progress indication displayed) installation.
Listing 1 shows an example how command line parameters can be used to start an unattended silent installation. This example would install the Full version of the Smart Client. Note that even if the Setup Program does not display any messages Windows UAC (User Account Control) might still display a confirmation message.

Listing 1: Command line for unattended silent installation of the Smart Client using the Light Setup.
To log the actions taken during a silent installation you may use the /L*V command line parameter as described in chapter If installation fails.
Using this command line parameters as shown in listing 1 will install the Smart Client to the default path. Listing 2 shows how you can use another command line parameter to define the installation directory.
