A Hotfix is a file or a collection of files that can be applied to Strategy products installed on a machine to correct a specific problem. Hotfixes are packaged in an executable (.exe) file, which is a self-installing format. When installing a Hotfix, files are backed up automatically so that users can remove the Hotfix later (if needed).
In Strategy 8.x, silent installation of a Hotfix may be performed by running the following command from the folder that contains the Hotfix .exe file:
setup.exe /v" /qn
The /qn option ensures that no interface is displayed, including warning and error messages.
Users can check the status of the silent installation in Windows Task Manager. A reboot of the machine is performed automatically at the end of the Hotfix installation. Details on the silent installation of a Hotfix are documented in the Strategy Installation and Configuration Guide > Automated Installation and Configuration on Windows > Silent installation > Silent installation of a Hotfix.
In addition, the /s option may be used to prevent the InstallShield initialization dialog box from showing up.
setup.exe /s /v" /qn
