Silent Installation

HP ESO can be installed in silent (non-interactive) mode by adding the “/s” or “/silent” switch
to the installer package's executable file, such as “cp016281.exe /s” when executing. When
silent installation is performed, HP ESO will be installed to completion without any user interaction.

NOTE:

During silent installation, the prerequisite Microsoft SQL Management Object package

will be installed automatically if it is not installed in the system. To prevent this from happening,
extract the installer package into a temporary folder by clicking on the Extract button during
installation. At the location of the extracted files, delete SharedManagementObjects.msi and
SQLSysClrTypes.msi

, and then finally execute cpqsetup.exe.
