Questions tagged [silent-installer]

A "silent installer" is an installation program that does not display any configuration options or any other indication of the installation during the installation process. It is in fact "hidden"... or - as the name implies - "silent" due to the lack of feedback to the user.

A "silent installer" is an installation program that does not display any configuration options or any other indication of the installation during the installation process. It is in fact "hidden"... or - as the name implies - "silent" due to the lack of feedback to the user.

It is a commonly used way for malware distributors to wrap "silent installers" with their malware into regular installations, so that the user thinks he/she is installing a regular program, without knowing that "behind the screens", there's much more being installed.

It is also used for upgrading applications. Updates of some software (like Microsoft updates) come with silent installers. When we have to install any particular upgrades of a software, they prefer silent installer.
