I think you have to be more specific but if you are talking about BES client the easiest way on a windows machine is to use the msi package supplied when you install bigfix.

if you add the options /qn the installation is completly silent.

Hi Prem,

To create a silent install of software you’ll need to figure out how to run the installer silently first. Each program may have a different way to do this and you may need to do some research from the vendor to get help figuring it out. Some software may need to be repackaged into an msi to get them to run silently.

Once you have your package (likely an .exe or .msi) you can feed it in through the Windows Software Distribution Wizard in the BES Console. It will generate a custom Task which you can then use to deploy the software.

My guts tell me that Project 2003 will be a difficult application to make install silently but I haven’t tried it yet myself.
