# Silent Installations

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. Note: If you are using the PDF version of this information, a Unicode character may be copied to the Windows Command Line, which is not Unicode aware.

## **1.2 Performing a Silent Installation**

To perform a silent installation, specify the following arguments on the command line: -gm2 –m silent –a PathToAnswersFile 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 Note: If you are using the PDF version of this information, a Unicode character may be copied to the Windows Command Line, which is not Unicode aware. This may cause this command line to fail to run. Consider typing this information in by hand.
