Users may want to perform an unattended (silent) installation in order to automate the installation in Strategy This kind of installation does not use the graphical user interface and it is very useful for system administrators who do not want users to run the installation themselves. It is excellent for users who want to automate the installation through script via Windows Task Manager.
The silent install can be used for:
Upon setup completion, the SMS generates a Management Information Format (MIF) file.
There are two ways to generate the MIF file:
NOTE: Uninstallation in SMS also generates a corresponding MIF file if you use the command line with the switch
Uninstallation in SMS also generates a corresponding MIF file if users use the command line with the switch -m filename without extension
To perform an OEM silent installation on Microsoft Windows, create an installation response response.ini file for the Strategy products to install. It can be done using Notepad or WordPad. Obviously the products included in this file should be available in the CDKEY mentioned under the section User Registration in the entry <>License Key.

Create the setup.iss file in order to install via silent installation via the response file, as shown below:
Version=v7.00
File=ReponseFile

Name=Strategy
Version=8.0.2
Company=Strategy
Lang=0009
[{B339F3B3-E78C-45E8-B4D2-3C46C1C13663}-DlgOrder]

Go to the command line and enter the command shown below:
Setup.exe --ResponseFile="C:\mstr\Response.ini" -s -f1C:\mstr\setup.iss -f2C:\mstr\setup.log
The TRUE means that the option should be both considered and installed.
The FALSE means that the option should not be neither considered nor installed.
For more information about the silent installs, refer to the Installation and Configuration Guide (C:\Program Files\Common Files\Strategy\Documentation\InstallationConfig.pdf).
