Once you have the .msi files, use the standard msiexec switches for a quiet, non-interactive installation:
PDQ Deploy handles the silent deployment but requires the full set of source files. Since PDQ Connect has file size limits, the best practice is to zip the entire installation folder, copy it to the target machine, unzip it, and then run the silent MSI commands.
