  2. Run the installer:

    "Perforce P4 One Setup <version>.exe"

The installer must be invoked directly. Calling a desktop shortcut (a .lnk file) instead of the .exe file results in an error.

You can run the installer with one or more of the following flags. The flags are case-sensitive.

Flag Description
/S Runs the installer silently, with no user interface.
/qn Equivalent to /S. Runs the installer silently, with no user interface.
/allusers Installs P4 One for all users on the computer, not just the current user.

For example, to install P4 One silently for all users, open an elevated command prompt, change to the directory that contains the downloaded installer, and run the following command:

"Perforce P4 One Setup <version>.exe" /allusers /S
