Silent Install of Patch asks for permission to extract archive

[kevanA]

I am trying to install the 2017 patch silently.

I use the command:

LV2017_f2Patch-64.exe /q /r /AcceptLicenses yes

Is there any way inhibit this message? I want a silent install.

This exe is a self-extracting archive, not an installer, so your options are probably pointless. Once extracted, you'll find the installer that you can install silently. (typically found in C:\National Instruments Downloads\...".). Use that for further distribution.

(There might be options to also extract silently, but that probably depends on the utility used to create the archive.)
