Performing a silent installation
The silent installation feature lets users install QuarkXPress on their computers over a network without having to follow step-by-step instructions. This feature is useful for large group installations when performing manual installations is cumbersome.
Preparing for silent installation: Windows
To enable Windows users to perform a silent installation on their computers, an administrator must make the following modifications:
1 Copy everything from the disc or disk image that contains the installer to an empty folder
on the local hard disk.
2 Using the local copy of the installer, install QuarkXPress on the local hard disk. The installer creates a "setup.xml"
file in the folder where the installer is located.
3 Open the "silent.bat" file in a text editor and make sure the path of the "setup.xml" file is in the first line as follows: '[network path of setup.exe file]' /s /v'/qn'
4 Share the folder that contains the installer and the "setup.xml" file with users who are licensed to install QuarkXPress.
Silent installation: Windows
To perform a silent installation on Windows, an end user must follow these steps:
1 Navigate to the shared folder that contains the "setup.xml" and "silent.bat" files.
2 Double-click the "silent.bat" file and follow the instructions on the screen
Is the activation code the same thing as the Installation code? What are all these codes?
