Unattended installation

An unattended installation or a silent installation or a silent install is a Software installation (computer programs) that takes place without interaction by the user. Normal computer program installation generally requires user (computing) to interact with the program before the install will succeed.

Some software programs such as service packs use silent installation to install many different software patches at the same time without requiring users to agree to each install individually. Also any other program that might have to install multiple pieces of software could use silent installs to make the installation easier.

Silent installs can sometimes be run by using a normal install file but using a command line Parameter like -s in order to make it behave similar to a silent install.

An unattended installation is generally used by advanced computer users, such as computer administrators.
