MySQL Silent Installation

Hi, I would like to ask how can I make a complete silent installation and configuration for the MySQL server. i have downloaded the Windows (x86, 32-bit), MSI Installer and I want to make a silent installation for my setup package.

First result on Google for "MySql Windows Silent Install":

https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.1/en/windows-installer-msi-quiet.html[^]

For example, to perform a quiet installation (which shows no dialog boxes or progress):

msiexec /i mysql-5.1.73.msi /quiet

what about the configuration setting such as windows service name, port, password, etc. I mean the screen which pops up after the installation. how can I run it in a Quiet! mode?

Just noting that if your intent is that your application will be doing all of the database administration then choosing a database that is less full featured might be a better option. And choosing an embedded database might be a better option as well.
