Automated Installation

You can install COMSOL using an automated installation process with minimal user interaction. This method requires installation from a DVD or DVD image. An answer file then responds to questions while the installer is running. The answer file is a text file with a specific format that contains predefined settings that the COMSOL installer uses. Start the installation by running

 <path to DVD>\setup.exe -s <path to answer file>

where <answer file path> is the path to your answer file. A template answer file, setupconfig.ini, with detailed usage information is available on the DVD.

Automated Removal (Uninstallation) of COMSOL

You can uninstall COMSOL using an answer file:

1	Edit the answer file and set uninstall to 1.

2	Run <path to COMSOL>\bin\win64\setup.exe -s <path to answer file>

where <path to answer file> is the path to your answer file. If you attempt to enter the command using Windows Command Prompt (cmd), make sure you execute the command outside the <path to COMSOL> directory or any subdirectory.
