This topic explains how to install C/C++test Professional.
Installing C/C++test
To install C/C++test:
- Double-click the C/C++test installer executable.
- Answer the questions asked by the installer.
During installation, C/C++test can be added into the main Visual Studio installation (recommended) or a separate configuration can be created. When the separate Visual Studio configuration mode is selected, the C/C++test plug-in will be available only when you launch C/C++test from C/C++test's "Launch Visual Studio with Parasoft C/C++test" shortcut from the Start menu. It will not be available when Visual Studio is launched in any other way.
C/C++test cannot be installed if any previous versions of Parasoft C/C++test (or Parasoft dotTEST) are installed to the main Visual Studio configuration. In order to install C++test, either remove the previous C/C++test version or (re)install the previous C++test version to a separate Visual Studio configuration.

To install C/C++test in silent mode, run the installer using the command line or a script with one of the following options, as well as any additional options you want to use (see below):
- /SILENT

This will switch the installer to non-interactive mode, and the setup wizard will install C/C++test and Parasoft Test (C/C++test's component) using the default configuration.
