XLSTAT: Silent Installation on Windows

 

Before You Install

The silent installation method is composed of two .msi files, corresponding to the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of XLSTAT. The installed version of XLSTAT must match the version of the installed Microsoft Excel software.

What Software is Installed?

The Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Redistributable

The Microsoft Visual C++ 2017 Redistributable

 

The packages can be downloaded from here:

• XLSTAT MSI Installer (32-bit)
• XLSTAT MSI Installer (64-bit)

Running the installation

The MSI packages can be installed with a double-click.  In this case, they are installed with the default settings from a standard exe XLSTAT installation.

The command line tool for installation is  msiexec.  The command to perform a silent installation is below:

msiexec /qn /i xlstat_x86.msi

Further information about the Microsoft's installation software is available in the Microsoft Library .
