-
Run the following command from the download location to complete an non-interactive or silent installation:

For the Quartus® II software versions 8.1 SP2 and earlier on Windows, you can use the silent install feature of the InstallShield software, by following these steps:
- Create a response file that contains the answers to the questions in the installation wizard:

setup.exe -s -f1
<path to setup.iss file>-f2
