Silent Install - Command Line parameters / switches for Veritas System Recovery (VSR)

Solution

When installing via command line, please remember to use the x86 installer for x86 operating systems and the x64 installer for x64 operating systems. The x86 installer can be found in the D:\SSR\SSR32 and the x64 installer can be found in the D:\SSR\SSRX64 folder on the VSR installation cd. All switches can be used with either installer.
