The created INI file can be read by the installer to silently install Crystal
Reports with the same options specified during the creation of the file. This

having to figure out complicated command-line parameters.
Once created during an installation, the INI response file must be included
with the set of Crystal Reports installation files.
The following table lists the parameters used to create and use an INI
response file for silent installation. To use a parameter, place it on the
command line after the setup.exe command.

out installing Crystal Reports.
