Greetings,
We have virtualized our build agents and have a step (provisioning) where we automatically install the software needed on the agents when they are created. In order to do this, we need to run the installer in silent mode. When I try to install the TestStudio_Runtime_2015_3_1429_1.msi using the /quiet switch, the product opens up a web page in the account used to install it, which doesn't have a desktop session. Is there a way to suppress this webpage launch?

In theory it should be possible. Our installer is a .msi file. You should be able to use Microsoft's MSIEXEC command line tool, with correct command line parameters to do a silent install.
DISCLAIMER: we do not officially support this. If you can get it to work then great. If not we're unable to guide you on how to make it work.
Thank you for your understanding.

Hello Boyan Boev,
We have any way to install .exe file silently through azure pipelines ?
Many thanks,

Hello Nithin,
The msi install packages are designed for silent installation - the installers of Test Studio can be downloaded in both exe and msi formats. These are available in your Telerik account under each of the products you are licensed for from the download section and you can give a try to the standard msiexec installer command line options.
I searched the web and also found an example of a Powershell script or using PsExec to install programs on remote machine.
However, you should know that these suggestions are not tested on our end as these are custom solutions, which depend on the specific environment. Still, I hope you will find the most appropriate for you,
Please, let me know if there is anything else we can be helpful with.
