How does the silent installation work?

On Windows the Excire Foto Office Edition Installation provides the possibility to be called in silent mode. The installation must be called with administrator privileges.

All calls return 0 on success. During the installation the install logfile install.log is written into the directory "%AppData%/Excire Foto Office Edition". Errors during uninstallation are also written in this file. A successful uninstallation deletes the logfile.
