Install ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 via the command line in silent mode

Install ABBYY FlexiCapture 12 components in silent mode from the Command Prompt window. Silent mode suits rollouts to many computers at once, because no dialog boxes or information messages appear. Silent installation offers three benefits:
  • A user or administrator only needs to start the installation. No further actions or decisions are necessary.
  • A silent installation requires less CPU power than a standard installation.
  • A silent installation is faster, because no visual interaction is required.

Open the Command Prompt window

Run cmd.exe with administrator permissions.

Use one of the following commands:
