  1. Run the installation file from the command prompt with the -gui=0 argument:
    vraystd_adv_6xxxx_x64_vc14.exe -gui=0
     
  2. Follow the instructions of the install and set-up the installation the way you want to have it on all machines. This will create a file named config.xml in the folder of the installation file.
  3. Run the installer with the following command:
    vraystd_adv_6xxxx_x64_vc14.exe  -gui=0 -configFile="xml_file.xml" -quiet=1

  4. This will cause the installer to read the variable values from the xml file and do the installation without asking any questions. If you do not specify the -quiet=1 option, the installer will ask for a confirmation for each variable before proceeding.
