===== Steps =====
<html>
To perform a silent or very silent install, refer to the following steps:
<br>
<br>

<u>Preparation</u>:
 <ul>
  <li><font color=black>
   The AhsayOBM / ACB installers have been branded to include:
   <br>
   <br>
   <ul>
   <li><font color=black>Backup server URL</font></li>
   <li><font color=black>Backup server connection protocol</font></li>
   <li><font color=black>Backup server port setting</font></li>
   <li><font color=black>Owner ID</font></li>
   </ul>

<br>
   For example, if the backup server URL is 10.1.0.50, protocol is https, the port is 443 and the owner ID is 0.
   <br>
   <br>
      <img style="width:65%; border:thin solid black" src="http://wiki.ahsay.com/lib/exe/fetch.php?media=public:8036_2.png"/>

   <br>
   <br>

   The AhsayOBM / ACB installer must be renamed according to the backup server settings, where:
   <br>
   <br>
   <ul>
   <li><font color=black>For AhsayOBM - obm-win-{port number}-{backup server URL}-{protocol}-{owner id}O.exe</font></li>
   <li><font color=black>For AhsayACB - acb-win-{port number}-{backup server URL}-{protocol}-{owner id}O.exe</font></li>
   </ul>

   <br>
   For example:
   <br>
   <br>
   obm-win-443-10.1.0.50-https-0O.exe<br>
   acb-win-443-10.1.0.50-https-0O.exe
   <br>
   <br>

  <li><font color=black>The default language selection on AhsayOBM / ACB will be English.</font></li><br>

  <li><font color=black>Windows UAC (User Account Control) is disabled on the Window computer where AhsayOBM / ACB will be installed.</font></li><br>
  </font></li>

  <li><font color=black>The option to install the client application for "Me Only" or "Anyone who uses this computer" can be controlled by the parameters /TASKS="meOnly" or /TASKS="EveryOne" (example to be shown next):
