Easiest way to install in silent mode is to use the switches for MSIexec, deploy by GPO

msiexec /i “FlexNet Inventory Agent.msi” /qn

you can find various deployment options in the manual

You must also make sure that you uncomment the following line in the MGSSETUP.INI file be removing the semi-colon.

;POLICYARGS = -o InstallDefaultSchedule=True -o UILevel=Quiet -o PostponeUserInteractionLevel=Quiet -o PostponeByDefault=False

For some reason the MGSSETUP.INI has that line commented out and its not working, we also had to go with the command line.

if you explicitly want to use setup.exe, i hope below command will work for you..

start /wait setup.exe /W /S /v"/qn ALLUSERS=1"

See the following post for discussion on a more advanced (ie. more powerful, but more complicated) approach to automatic  agent deployment/configuration: FNMS Inventory Agent Deployment
