Download the “UnattendedInstall(build-3.8.5.xxxx).zip”.
Extract the .zip file.
Locate the "unattededInstall.xml" file from the extracted zip file.
This UnattendedInstall(build-3.8.5.xxxx).zip contains a configuration file named UnattendedInstall.xml that allows the user to define the options needed to be auto-selected during the installation without user intervention. The unattended installation is compatible with any deployment software.
Each section in the UnattendedInstall XML configuration file mentioned below has three parts:
- Description: A message box that the user would see or a description of the item being silenced. For example, the <Description> tag sets definitions and values for the type of installation (Server/Client/Workstation).
- PossibleValues: A name/value pair of possible choices for the current item. For example, <PossibleValues> tag values are by default set to 0. To modify the answers, change the number between the <Value> tag.
- Value: The chosen value that is either 0 or 1 that the Update will use if required by the update logic flow. The value is set to 0 for No and 1 for Yes.
After making the necessary changes in the respective XML configuration files for unattended server, unattended client, and unattended workstation installations, the extracted folder is zipped.
Compress the .zip file back to “UnattendedInstall(build-3.8.5.xxxx).zip”.

...

When the deployment process starts, the tool will automatically download the zip file to the server , and extract the zip. It will run UnattendedInstall.exe as Admin, and the update will continue according to the options configured in the UnattendedInstall.xml file.
