Make sure you are in the folder where the installer exists, before launching this silent installation.
This will install the MPLAB X IDE silently on your machine.
Allow 10-15 minutes for the silent installation to complete (depending of the PC resources).
Enjoy.
I now always uninstall and then install into the same directory everytime. This reduces the disk space required for MPLAB-X.
