You can install ESRI Nautical Solution without a user interface by running the msiexec command. ESRI Nautical Solution requires ESRI Production Mapping. You must install ESRI Production Mapping first.

Steps

1. Open a command prompt.
2. Enter the following command:
   msiexec /i <Path to installer> INSTALLDIR=<install directory> /<Method>
