    The title of DOC ID 2284172 "How to Perform Silent Install for Oracle BI Publisher Desktop" is misleading because within the documentation, it stated that "Silent installation method is available only for BI Publisher application server software installations and not for BI Publisher Desktop software.

    I found this link to be more useful and managed to complete the silent install. https://unattended.sourceforge.net/installers.php

    Oracle uses InstallShield to install the Publisher Desktop software. For silent install it require an answer file setup.iss.
    By running the following commands in Command Prompt it will generate an answer file.
    oraclepublisherdesktopfilename.exe /r

    Once I have the setup.iss answer file I can run the silent install command
    oraclepublisherdesktopfilename.exe /s /f1setup.iss /sms
