My apologies if this has already been answered here but I have searched through the forums and i am unable to find an answer.

We just upgraded from GP 2011 to GP2013CU11. We are in the process of upgrading the clients (150) (mrclient_x64.msi and mrclient.cab) on all WIndows 7 PCs. We use SCCM to deploy our applications and we would like to rollout an unattended installation of the code to the client PCs.

Could someone please point me in the right direction as to where the msi or setup.exe or mrlaunch.exe silent install options are. Is there some kind of answer file that needs to be provided via cmd line to configure the server and port i.e http://server:port ?

Thanks in advance.

To answer my own question (after using Microsoft Orca and mis logging via command line ---- using --msi /l logfile.txt /i msifilename.msi):

msiexec /i mrclient.msi LicenseAccepted=0 ServerConnection=http://rptserver:4712 Installlocation="C:\Program Files\Microsoft Dynamics ERP\Management Reporter\2.1\" /qb

In case others might find it useful. The above has only been tested via commandline...not via SCCM but I suspect it will work if installed via a SYSTEM account.
