## Command Line Setup (for Administrators)

The installer supports the following command line options:

### /S:\<\<optional INI file\>\>

Runs the installation in silent mode, where no screens or dialogs are shown.

An optional INI file can be provided in order to specify session variable values. Example:

`"C:\output\setup.exe" "/S:C:\setupvars.ini"`

In this case, the session variables in the INI file are used during setup. The INI file should use the following format:

`[SetupValues]`

`%AppFolder%=C:\Program Files\MyProduct`

### /U:\<\<XML config file\>\>

This option is used when uninstalling the program by command line. An optional XML file can be provided in order to specify session variable values. Example:

`"C:\Program Files\MyProduct\uninstall.exe" "/U:C:\Program Files\MyProduct\irunin.xml"`
