A silent install is where you do not require any user input to complete the installation. This is a vital requirement where you have many client machines to install.

1. Copy the full installer ratlSynergy_7-1-0_Windows_Informix.exe to c:\

5. Copy the extracted installer folder c:\ratlSynergy_7-1-0_Windows_Informix to a shared folder or a local folder on the target machine where you want to install the client.
   
   
6. Copy c:\setup.iss to the same location used in step 5..
