Files\MapInfo\MapInfoPro\""
Where:
On a 64-bit operating system: INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files (x86)\MapInfo\MapInfoPro\"
Look for the type of installation you want to perform from the options below and follow the corresponding
instructions. In each of the install scenarios described below, the serial number and access code
parameters are given in the following format:
• PIDKEY=MI##############
• ACCD=######
Substitute the appropriate serial number and access code when you perform the silent install.
Installing Silently
You can only perform a completely silent install of MapInfo Professional when your install process has
elevated administrative privileges.
The command-line options /q and /qn do not work when the User Access Control (UAC) is turned on
and your install process does not run with elevated administrative privileges. These options turn off the
user interface during the installation, which suppresses the Windows UAC. Users must interact with the
UAC to provide the necessary credentials to run the installation as an administrator. If the user interface
is turned off, the installation is terminated without warning because the UAC cannot gather the appropriate
credentials.
