Deploying Creo View Using a Silent Installation
Perform a silent installation in either of these ways:
Deploy the program from the MSI package that is located under the pview directory on the installation media.
Directly call msiexec.exe on some or all the required installers—See Customizing the Installer for examples.
In the Command Prompt you can enter msiexec /? to read an explanation of all the generic MSI options. Some common examples of options for a silent installation follow:
/qn—Installs the software with no installer user interface.
/qb—Provides a progress bar with a Cancel button.
/qb!—Provides only a progress bar. A user cannot stop the installation.
