**If you are a system administrator for an enterprise or a school, discover how to perform a silent EXE installation for a program built with PandaSuite**

A silent (or unattended) installation is the ability to install an application package (here an EXE file), without any user interaction. This means that the user will no longer need to go through the install wizard (and click Next multiple times). The application will be installed automatically by calling the installer with specific silent install parameters.

Here are the command lines to install an EXE named Panda Quiz:

```
"%downloadpath%\Panda QuizSetup.exe" /S /allusers
```

```
"%downloadpath%\Panda QuizSetup.exe" /S /currentuser
```

You must replace %downloadpath% by the place where the installation package has been downloaded by PandaSuite and unzip if it's a [standalone EXE](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/desktop-publishing/standalone-exe-for-offline-installation/).

> **Note**
>
> After a rename, desktop links to the app only open once the app has been
> launched: a silent installation does not launch it.

Here are the command lines to uninstall an EXE named Panda Quiz:

```
"%localappdata%\Programs\Panda Quiz\Uninstall Panda Quiz.exe" /S
```

Make sure to tick **Install for all users of the device** option [when exporting the EXE file](https://docs.pandasuite.com/essentials/desktop-publishing/export-an-exe-file/).
