Is there any way to install and configure Wowza via a command prompt or PowerShell on Windows?

I’ll answer my own question in case someone else runs into this issue.

You just need to run the wowza exe with the following command line parameters

–mode unattended --licensekey YourKeyHere --username UsernameHere --password passwordHere --prefix installationPath

You need to request a silent install key from Wowza sales for this to work.
