We currently distribute apps to our users via Microsoft SMS. Is there a way to install EViews silently via a command script?

EViews does not have SMS specific commands but you may install EViews silently by following the below steps.

** Perform first installation in order to create the silent install script **
1)Determine/create a temporary working directory. In this example I used c:\eviews\install
2)Navigate to INSTALL directory located on the EViews CD
3)Create the iss file :
setup.exe -r -f1c:\eviews\install\setup.iss
4)Enter installation information and complete installation

** install on second and proceeding machines **
5)copy setup.iss to new machine
6)repeat step 1 and 2 on the new machine
7)Perform the silent installation on the new machine:
setup.exe -s -f1c:\eviews\install\setup.iss
8)if a temporary working directory was created, remove it

In very early versions of the EViews 6 installation CD, silent installs did not work properly.

If you purchased EViews directly from QMS contact support@eviews.com and let them know of the issue or contact your reseller and let them know you need a new EViews 6 CD.
