MATLAB: Does the installer GUI show up when trying to go through a silent installation

MATLAB

I am trying to go through the silent installation process by running the following command:
 setup.exe -inputFile installer_input.txt (Windows)
 ./install -inputFile installer_input.txt (Unix)
However, one of the following two occurs:
1. The installer GUI continues to show up.
or
2, I receive the following error:

Error: Installation cannot proceed. You may either:
1. Set an X11 display, and restart the install process
2. Use the silent install feature by specifying the -mode silent option

Best Answer

Please input the full path of the installer properties file so that the file gets read properly. The command should look something like:
setup.exe -inputFile C:\full\path\to\installer_input.txt
./install -inputFile /full/path/to/installer_input.txt
If you do not input the absolute path, MATLAB will not read the installer properties file. Instead, MATLAB will start the interactive installation process instead.
