Every software is a little different so you will need to read the documentation, or do some googling to figure out what the silent install command is for the software. 

For example for this autodesk software the silent install command is:

PowerShell
				
					setup.exe -q
				
			

Your software will be different, so this is the opportunity to make sure your command will work. Lets test this out by sharing all of the install files into the windows sandbox and running that command inside a terminal to see what happens. Right Click on the Files and select Share this folder in a Sandbox. ( if you are on windows 11 you may have to select the see more options first )

A Folder will show up on the desktop of the Sandbox that has the folder (and files) we shared with the sanbox to install the software. 

We need to run a powershell command to install the software so we will Right-Click on the start menu and select Windows PowerShell (Admin) then type cd and drag the file folder to the terminal, which will put the location of that folder into the terminal, then hit Enter

Once you have changed the directory into our files folder lets try running the install command: 

Checking in the task manager I can see that there are Autodesk installation tasks running (silently)

It installed correctly! We have figured out the correct silent install command for this software.

 

 If required you can close the sandbox and try again if for some reason your silent install command did not work or you need to tweak the command in some way. 

Go ahead and close your sandbox, indicating that your ok with the box being cleaned up. 

 

And with that we have figured out the silent install command.
