The disk space required for silent install and the temporary storage files are the same as the standard installation process. Silent installation works on Windows and UNIX systems. If any user input is required, it is typically obtained before the installation starts. Silent installation programs, on the other hand, predetermine all the required information so no input is needed from the user once the installation has started. This includes user input such as target directory, confirmation to overwrite files, or other configuration options. Many software applications rely on user input to complete the installation process. This means once the installation starts, the user is not offered any options to change or edit the installation process. A silent install is when an application or program is loaded to a user’s computer without any dialogs or user input after starting.
