The kit contains both mode of installation. The interactive and non-interactive.
To, install the product using interactive mode, the user may execute setup or may execute the command "setup.exe" from the installation disk.
To, install the product in a non-interactive or silent mode, the user should use the command  setup.exe /s /v"/qn SETUPTYPE="<setuptype>" [REMOVEUTIL="<util1>[,<util2>]"]"  from the installation disk. The <util> can be Popup,SNMP and <setuptype> can be StandAlone. The REMOVEUTIL option will remove the utility from install list. In Future, there will be more options for <util>
