Overview of Silent Installation Switches

Silent installation switches are command-line options that allow applications to be installed or uninstalled without user interaction. They are commonly used in enterprise environments for mass deployment.

/s or /silent – Runs the installer silently in the background, without showing prompts or dialogs.
/qn – Used with MSI packages (Windows Installer). Runs in quiet mode with no user interface.
/norestart – Prevents automatic system restart after installation. Useful to avoid workflow disruptions.

Notes

MSI-based installers typically support both /qn and /norestart for silent mode.
EXE-based installers vary, so uninstallation switches may differ depending on vendor implementation.
Always test the commands in a controlled environment before large-scale deployment.
Some software (e.g., Evernote for Mac) may not support silent uninstallation and might require manual removal.
