Command Line
    1. For a View Client Silent installation with no reboot and no icons run this command:

      VMware-viewclient.exe /S /V /qn DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 VDM_SERVER=<IP-Address> INSTALLDIR=C:\VDM RDPCHOICE=0 REBOOT=Reallysuppress

      where these are the options used:
        • REBOOT=Reallysuppress suppresses a reboot after the install. If you remove REBOOT=Reallysuppress, the machine automatically reboots after the install.

        • VDM_SERVER defines the Connection Broker.

        • DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 prevents a shortcut from being placed on the Desktop. A shortcut is placed on the Desktop by default. If you do not want a shortcut, set the value to 0.

        • INSTALLDIR=C:\VDM specifies the installation path.

        • RDPCHOICE=0 prevents RDP from being enabled. After the installation, RDP is enabled by default. If you do not want RDP to be enabled, set the value to 0.
