When you need to install and activate the full version of Concordance Native Viewer on numerous machines, you can save time by running silent installations. Silent installations use a Setup.iss (InstallShield® Silent response) file to automatically run installations without requiring any user input.
To install Concordance Native Viewer using a Setup.iss file, you will first need to create the file itself. This file only needs to be created once. When you are creating the Setup.iss file, you performing a normal Concordance Native Viewer installation, and record each step of the installation process. After the Setup.iss file is created, it can be used to install Concordance Native Viewer silently on any other machine.
