The 12d Solutions Installer is capable of performing silent installers, which may assist in automatic rollouts of upgrades.
1.1 Generating an Answers File
To perform a silent installation, you will need to generate an answers file.
To do so, provide the following argument:
-o PathToAnswersFile
For example,
12dSynergy_Client_x86.exe –o c:\temp\answers.txt
When the installation is completed, an answers file will be generated for use time.

To perform a silent installation, specify the following arguments on the command line:

If you would like to also automatically uninstall the product first, use these arguments
-gm2 –m silent –u –a PathToAnswersFile
For example,
12dSynergy_Client_x86.exe –gm2 –m silent –u –a c:\temp\answers.txt
