Because epsxe_x64.exe is a portable-friendly application, a silent install essentially extracts files to the destination folder.
Once the silent install is complete, the configuration files (video plugins, audio settings, and BIOS locations) are stored in the installation directory. To fully automate the setup for end-users, administrators often pre-configure a plugins and bios folder and copy them into the installation directory immediately after the silent install script finishes.
When you have isolated the MSI, you can use advanced properties. These are the most valuable silent install parameters for EPSKitX64.exe after extraction:
| MSI Property | Value | Purpose |
|--------------|-------|---------|
| INSTALL_SOURCE | C:\Drivers | Set custom driver store path |
| NETWORK_PRINT | 1 | Pre-configure for network printing |
| DISABLE_PING | 1 | Skip network ping tests |
| REGISTER_WIA | 1 | Register WIA scanner driver |
| NO_UPDATE | 1 | Disable Epson firmware update prompts |
| ADD_PORT | TCP_IP:192.168.1.100 | Add a network port and map to printer | epskitx64exe silent install parameters install
If you want to customize what gets installed (e.g., Driver only, no Scan utility), you need to look for an .inf file after extraction.
Command using PnPUtil (Most Silent Method):
pnputil.exe /add-driver "C:\Extracted\Drivers\epson*.inf" /install /subdirs /silent
This method bypasses the EPSON Setup.exe entirely, giving you the leanest deployment. However, it only installs the core printer driver—none of the scanning or maintenance software. Because epsxe_x64
Unlike MSI files, EXE wrappers use specific flags. Based on Epson’s enterprise packaging standards, the following parameters are widely supported:
| Parameter | Function |
|-----------|----------|
| /s or /S | Silent mode – Suppresses all UI dialogs, progress bars, and error prompts. |
| /v" | Passes parameters directly to the internal MSI. |
| /quiet | Runs the installation with no user interface (alternative to /s). |
| /norestart | Prevents the system from rebooting, even if required. |
| /log "path\to\log.txt" | Writes installation logs for troubleshooting. |
To perform a basic silent install, you need to open the Command Prompt (cmd) or PowerShell with Administrator privileges and navigate to the folder containing the installer. Command using PnPUtil (Most Silent Method): pnputil
The standard command for a silent install is:
epsxe_x64.exe /VERYSILENT /NORESTART
Open Command Prompt as Administrator and navigate to the folder containing EPSKitX64.exe. Run:
EPSKitX64.exe /a
Alternatively, you can use universal extractor switches:
EPSKitX64.exe /extract:"C:\Temp\EpsonExtract"
If those fail, simply run the executable normally, and when the first dialog appears, do not click Next. Instead, open %TEMP% (type shell:temp in Explorer). Sort by "Date Modified" and look for a folder named B2C7E5F6-8A9D-4E3C-B1F2-9D8E7C6B5A4F (or similar). Inside, you’ll find a file named Setup.msi or EPSDriver.msi.
