Conduct the following procedure to run a silent CONNX client installation on client computers. (See Creating the CONNX Client Installation Record File.)
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

Note: Make sure you type a "1" (one) and not an "L" (el) after "-f".
Click the OK button
Allow several minutes for the installation to complete.
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
the Drivers tab. CONNX and
