When you run setup.exe -q installdir="c:\live office\" a silent installation is performed. The installation directory is set to c:\live office\ and all parameters that are not mentioned from the command line are left with default settings. Reads the INI response file at the path specified by filepath, and installs Live Office based on the settings in the file.
-r "filepath"
Note: In the INI response file, there is a section "others". Set the key to /qb to perform an installation with a progress meter. Set the key to /qa to perform a complete silent installation. Writes an INI response file to the path specified by filepath.
