Use Setup command-line options with Skype for Business clients
Summary: Learn about Setup.exe command line operations in Office setup.
The Setup.exe command line is used for very few operations in Office setup. Instead of using the Setup command-line options, you'll typically use the Office Customization Tool and the Config.xml file for product setup and feature customization.
The Office Setup.exe command line recognizes the command-line options described in the following table.
