Installing the Zerto Solution : Performing a Silent Installation
  
Performing a Silent Installation
You can perform a silent installation of Zerto Virtual Replication, by running the installation executable in a script with the -s option.
<installation>.exe [-s] [-uninstall] [-l <logfile>] [[PROPERTY=VALUE] ...]
Where:
■ uninstall
Runs the uninstall procedure.
■ l <logfile>
Writes log entries to the specified file.
■ s
Runs the silent installation, uninstall, repair or upgrade.
If Zerto Virtual Replication does not exist on the machine, an installation is performed.
If the same version of Zerto Virtual Replication exists on the machine, a repair is performed.
If a previous version of Zerto Virtual Replication exists on the machine, an upgrade is performed.
■ PROPERY=VALUE

NOTE:
VRA upgrade is enabled by default during the upgrade (-ShouldUpgradeVra=True).
To disable the VRA upgrade when running the silent installation, enter the following example command:
