You can run the Axxon PSIM installation in the quiet mode (without a user interface).

During the installation process, the system can restart. The installation continues automatically after the system restarts.

When you install in the quiet mode on Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2, all Windows updates must be installed. After that, use the HotFix available here or here. As a result, when you install drivers, there are no messages about the unreliable publisher.

When the Redist.exe process completes in Windows Task Manager, it indicates that the installation is complete.

This installation type is performed by specifying parameters for the setup.exe installation file in the Windows command line. The file parameters are listed in the table.
