How to Do a Silent Installation of In-Sight Explorer

A "silent" or "unattended" installation of software refers to an installation process where the application is installed on a computer without any user interaction or visible prompts, meaning the installation happens "silently" in the background without displaying any windows or asking for input from the user. Useful for automating and standardizing installation across multiple machines. This article describes how to silently install the latest version of In-Sight Explorer from the command line and the steps should be applicable to all versions of the software.

Question

How can I perform a silent or unattended install of In-Sight Explorer?

Answer

To perform a silent installation of In-Sight Explorer, please follow these steps:

  1. Download the version of In-Sight Explorer you wish to install
  2. Unzip the download
  3. Open a command line window in the folder containing the unzipped download and run the command "Cognex In-Sight Software 6.5.1.exe" /S /v/qn, using the name of the software version that you are installing.
  4. To uninstall, you can use the same command with /X as an additional command line argument. Continuing the example above: "Cognex In-Sight Software 6.5.1.exe" /S /X /v/qn

The command line will return before the software has finished installing- it generally takes less than 5 minutes to install fully. You can verify that it's installed by running a windows search for the app.
