Comms setup supports batch or silent mode to install or remove the application and to configure the client applications.
You can use the Hexagon Setup Manager (Setup.exe) in a batch or silent mode from a command line. If needed, map a drive to the deployment media.

Use these options as different command line parameters: /n[i|r|s|x] /c[s] /u[s] |
Replace references to the software Name parameter in your installation syntax. Open the ProductInfo.xml file located on the installation media in the \\Repository\<SoftwareDeploymentFolderName> folder. The ProductInfo element, Name attribute value is your software Name. In the ConfigurableApps section, each ConfigurableApp element’s Name attribute value specifies the name of a Configuration (see configurable application below).
Example:
The Name attribute value for the Comms Viewer Client is ViewerClient. The DisplayName is Client.
Name="ViewerClient" DisplayName="Client"
