Problem
From the documentation it was unclear how to manage silent installation with different packages, in example the lighter version of UFT, in fact the only known way to execute this file silently was to run it y command and execute the setup to follow on-screen instructions.
This clearly was not a silent install, but it was limited by the own type of file until R&D provided below procedure.
Solution
Briefly, regarding the lighter version of UFT, it is a self-extracted file. If you want to run it silently, you can:
1. Run command to extract it, with this command the UFT package will be extracted at C:\\temp\UFT
cmd.exe /c UFT_14.50_Setup.exe -gm2 -y -InstallPath=”C:\\temp\UFT” -ExecuteFile=""
2. And then run the setup.exe in the directory to install prerequisites.
cmd.exe /c C:\\temp\UFT\setup.exe /InstallOnlyPrerequisite /s
3. And run the command below to install the uft itself and pass the ADDLOCAL to define which add-ins you need.
cmd.exe /c MsiExec /norestart /qn /i C:\Temp\UFT\Unified_Functional_Testing_x64.msi /l*xv C:\UFT_Install_Log.txt ADDLOCAL="Core_Components,Samples,Java_Add_in" CONF_DICOM=1
