The website article (2nd half) describes how to repackage the .MSI using the
/a admin installation. This is how you streamline the .MSI install. I
usually show the Splash screen so that users know something is about to
happen, the progress bar so that users see something happening, and the
Finish screen so that users know that the install is complete.

Hi Joe
I wish to silently install the client via the Web Interface. I tried to add
/qb switch in the install.cs file (ie the config file that starts the MSI
install) but it doesn't work. At the moment, users click the Web Client
link on our Web Interface and manually install the Version 10 client. This
works fine but Im trying to streamline it hence the silent install option is
preferred.
I know there is a local IE setting to get around the Active X Control issue.
Since I am dealing with external clients, there won't be much I can do to
get around this - working as designed.
My main issue is getting the client to install silently..
Thanks
