How do you install the Notes client without user intervention?

1) First create a "recording" of the answers you want the users to (not have to) key in during the install, you will create the .iss file by going to a DOS or Command Prompt and entering the setup command in as shown below:
setup.exe -r

(the -r argument creates the "recording" of your keystorkes and stores all the choices in SETUP.ISS and places it in your WINDOWS directory.)

2) You can now use the .iss file as a parameter to the setup.exe file and it will skip all the questions and refer to the file for the choices. From a DOS or Command Prompt, enter the setup command in as shown below:
setup -s setup.iss

(in this case -s means Silent)

Its that simple. You can even put this in a batch file, and have the user run the batch file.
