Copy the shortcut you created from the network folder to a convenient location on the network.
Click the Start
button, and then point to Run.
In the Open text box, type
the following:
N:\CNX\Setup.exe –s -f1N:\CNX\Setup.iss
where N:\… represents the location

To verify installation
of the silent client, click Start,
point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then select Administrative Tools. Select Data Sources (ODBC), and then select
