Silently Installing the Windows Genuine Advantage Tool

  • 772

I need to be able to silently download and install Windows Genuine Advantage. Where can I download it and What is the command line for silent installation?

I am surprised it's so hard to find this information. I need to install Microsoft Software that requires genuine Advantage to be installed.

windows-update activation silent

    I am not sure it is really all that hard. Just typing "wga" as the search keyword in the Microsoft Download Center site search would have sufficed to find this link:

    http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?id=20888

    The silent / unattended installation procedure is largely uniform for all hotfixes - just use the /quiet /passive /norestart parameter set for the extracted version of the hotfix setup.
