More information

The /x switch assumes the /q:a switch, which is quiet. Therefore, when you start the installation process, the desktop does not change. To verify that the installation process has started, start Task Manager, click the Processes tab, and then confirm that Iesetup.exe and Ie5wzd.exe are running.
