The /s option is required with this
option.
Options /e and /c are not valid with this
option.
/s
Silent option

user intervention. When /s is not
specified, the DUP is launched in GUI

The /s option is required when using
the /e, /f, /c, /l, and /u options.

packagename.exe /s /l=c:\pkg.log
/u=<filename>
Unicode Log option
Appends logged messages to a
specified Unicode file; creates a new
file if one does not exist. If the file name
contains spaces, use quotation marks
around the < filename> value.
The /s option is required with this
option.
packagename.exe /s /u=c:\pkg.log
packagename.exe /s /u="c:\Update Log
\pkg.log"
