Install ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 via the command line in silent mode

ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 components can be installed in silent mode from the Command Prompt window. Silent mode is useful when you need to roll out ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 on a large number of computers simultaneously. No dialog boxes or information messages will be displayed (but you can choose to display a progress bar — see the note below). Installing in silent mode offers the following benefits:
  • A user or administrator only needs to initiate the installation, no further actions or decisions are necessary.
  • A silent installation requires less CPU power compared to a standard installation.
  • A silent installation is faster, because no visual interaction is required.
To install ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 in silent mode:
  1. Open the Command Prompt window (cmd.exe) with administrator permissions.
  2. Run one of the following commands:
    • To install server components: Servers x64.exe /qn
    • To install client components: Stations x64.exe /qn
    • To install ABBYY FlexiCapture Standalone: Setup.exe /qn
Replace the /qn switch with /qb if you want an installation progress bar to be displayed.
