This applies to both install and upgrade installers which have a different set of inputs.

Today we can't use an auto answer file. We can drive the installer with commad line options and get close to that, but that's more fiddly, and error-prone. Ideally we'd would like both agent installer and MEM Dashboard installer, since some users are likely to have at least 2 monitor instances running, until they can scale to hundreds of agents. However, scripting the agent install is, of course, much higher priority.

We already provide a way to pass auto answer files to installers: http://support.bitrock.com/article/how_to_use_the_optionfile_command_line_option http://support.bitrock.com/article/custom-unattended-installation-with-response-files Will the existing functionality suffice for you? We could look into having the installer autogenerate the initial answer file upon completion, but adding this functionality may take a little bit
