2.3 Unattended installation in Windows

Acronis components, such as Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows, can be installed in
the unattended mode, as opposed to the interactive mode.
If you are installing Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows, you need the configuration
script mst_gen.vbs, which is located in the folder where Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management
Console is installed—by default, C:\Program Files\Acronis\BackupAndRecoveryConsole. If the
management console is installed on a different machine, you can copy the script from that machine.
The following components and features can be reinstalled or updated in the unattended mode:

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Agent for Windows AcronisAgentWindows.msi

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Universal Restore: AcronisUniversalRestore.msi

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Deduplication: AcronisDeduplication.msi

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Bootable Media Builder:
AcronisBootableComponentsMediaBuilder.msi

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console for advanced editions:
AcronisManagementConsole.msi

Acronis Backup & Recovery 10 Management Console for stand-alone editions:
AcronisStandaloneManagementConsole.msi
Before installing the agent's features (such as Universal Restore), you need to install the agent itself.
To install, reinstall, or update a component in the unattended mode
1. Run the setup program.
2. Click Extract installation files.
3. Extract the component's installation package.
