Unattended Setup Parameters

When you run unattended setup, you can specify the following command line parameters:

/q or /qt
/b#

For example, the following command can be used to install MSMQ:

setup /qt /b1

The /q or /qt parameter specifies quiet mode (/q) or totally quiet mode (/qt). For more information on unattended setup modes, see the previous section, "Unattended Setup Modes." If you do not specify /q or /qt, Setup does not run in unattended mode.

The /b# switch corresponds to the button order in the Setup Installation Type dialog box. The number of available options (/b1, /b2, or /b3) depends on which type of dependent client, independent client, or server you are installing and, in the case of independent clients, which platform you are installing on. However, in all cases, /b is the default¾It is used if the /b# parameter is not specified.

To run an unattended reinstall, use the following command:

setup /q[t] /r

To run an unattended uninstall, use the following command:

setup /q[t] /u

Note Unattended uninstall automatically removes your MSMQ data files.
