View source for Silent Installation in QPR UI

There is the [https://techterms.com/definition/silent_install silent installation] option available for QPR UI, in which the installation is done in command line instead of the [[Installing QPR UI|installation wizard]]. Silent installation allows to fully automate QPR UI installation.

==Silent installation procedure==
# Download QPR UI installation package (link is available in this wiki's mainpage).
# Store the installation package to '''C:\temp\''' (this is an example location; you may stored it to different location).
# Construct your silent installation command by using the example command below and list of available parameters.
# Test the silent installation command by opening an elevated command prompt (open Windows '''Start Menu''', type '''cmd''', right-click '''Command Prompt''', and select '''Run as administrator'''). Paste the command to the command line and press enter.
# Check that QPR UI has been installed correctly. Check also the installation log file for errors.

==Silent installation command==
