Hello, I'm creating a custom app with an exe for InfoZoom (InfoZoom_2023_en-US.exe). It looks like the install is running but will time out because it is running in the background. Is there a way to run it without it being silent? I see the "Silent Install Parameters" is required when created it and I don't know why that is.

Hello,

For custom apps, we require a silent install argument for the installer at this time, however, we may remove that requirement in the future. If the installer is running in the background, typically that means that the installation is never completing. This is usually due to incorrect install parameters.

It is always recommended to ensure that you can install the software silently in an admin (or better yet, psexec running as SYSTEM) command prompt before adding the application to Custom Apps.
