You may, if you choose to take advantage of an available silent installation process, automate the execution of the IM Client installation by creating a batch installation file. This process runs the LBG IM Client set-up without end-user input.

The IM Client will be installed to the default locations:

Target Directory Folder: C:\Program Files\Ipswitch\IM Client
Program Folder Folder: Start > Programs > Ipswitch IM

How to run the IM Client install with no user input:

• This example assumes you have a shared network drive I.
• In this example the client install is named imclient.exe.

From a DOS prompt, launch the IM Client executable:

I:\imclient.exe -s
