Hi whitsett,

The "Smart Install" option allows you to automatically install your software without requiring further action by you. This feature automatically accepts associated EULAs and third party applications on your behalf. The "Smart Install" option will save you time and hassle by allowing you to bypass clicking through each step of the software installation process.

In contrast, the "Standard Install" option allows you to manually install your software, giving you complete control over the installation process.
