The Developer Installation Package is in the .msi format and supports Silent Installation through the use of the msiexec.exe utility. When the command line argument “/qn” is passed to the utility, the installation of the Developer Installation Package proceeds without Graphical User Interface (GUI) that is, there are no dialog boxes or user prompts requesting for information, such as the installation directory. The progress of the installation, indicating success or failure, is written to a log file. The log file includes the status, warnings, and error messages.
