What syntax is necessary for a silent automatic update of VMware Tools on Windows?

/s /v "/qn" /l "c:\Windows\filename.log"
--prefix=/usr/local,/usr/lib,/usr/doc --silent
--prefix=c:\Windows,c:\VMtools --silent
/fs /v "/qn+" /l "c:\Windows\filename.log"

The correct answer is: /s /v "/qn" /l "c:\Windows\filename.log"

The syntax required for a silent automatic update of VMware Tools on Windows involves specific command line options that facilitate the installation process without user interaction. The key components of this syntax include the use of the "/s" option that indicates a silent installation, thereby eliminating any UI prompts. The "/v" flag is utilized to forward parameters to the MSI installer, with "/qn" indicating that the installation should proceed quietly without any user interface. Additionally, the "/l" option allows for logging of the installation process to a specified file, which is useful for troubleshooting or verifying the installation status. In this case, "c:\Windows\filename.log" denotes the path where the log file will be created. This combination of options effectively ensures that VMware Tools can be updated in a way that minimizes disruption while still providing feedback through the log file in case of errors or issues.
