During installation, you can select an option to install Toad as a read-only application. This lets you query data and view objects using Toad, but all actions that can impact the database (Create, Alter, Drop, Insert, Update, etc.) are disabled or hidden. This ensures that you can use Toad without worrying about committing a change to a sensitive production instance. The following image shows an example of the differences between a typical and a read-only installation:

Silent installation provides a convenient method for deploying Toad to multiple machines. With some customization, you can also deploy the license key and settings at the same time.
Use a stand-alone installer to perform a silent install. Obtain your installer files at https://support.quest.com/.
Before you can perform a silent installation, the following software must be installed on every computer where you are installing Toad:
Use the executable file to perform a silent install to the default directory (or to a different directory) and to specify options such as logging installation messages.
To perform a silent install using the executable file
For a standard installation with all features enabled, enter the following command:
“ToadInstaller.exe” /S
You can customize MSIEXEC command-line options and overrides for your installation similar to the following command:
“ToadInstaller.exe” /S /Lx “C:\temp\installLog.txt” INSTALLDIR=”Drive:\your_install_path” USERNAME=”some_user” COMPANYNAME=”your_company” ALLUSERS=1
Use the following descriptions to customize the command-line options and overrides for your installation.
