Epson Scan 2 is the standard scanning utility provided by Epson for many of their recent photo and document scanners (such as the Perfection V600, V850, and various ET/ES series models). For system administrators or power users looking to deploy this software across multiple machines without user intervention, a "silent install" is required.
Unlike some older scanning software, Epson Scan 2 uses a standard Windows Installer (MSI) package wrapped inside an executable, making silent deployment relatively straightforward once the files are extracted.
Look inside the extracted folder. You should see a file named similar to:
Epson Scan 2.msi or ES2.msi
You will also see language-specific folders and cabinet (.cab) files.
Avoid third-party "driver download" websites. Epson hosts their files on an Akamai CDN. As of the latest version (Epson Scan 2 v6.7.2.0), the universal silent installer link is:
https://download.epson-biz.com/modules/dnload/?file=ES2_W64_6720.exe&product=ES2&sc_f=us
For 32-bit systems (rare):
https://download.epson-biz.com/modules/dnload/?file=ES2_W32_6720.exe&product=ES2&sc_f=us
Note: Epson frequently updates the version number (e.g.,
6720= v6.7.2.0). The above link redirects to the latest release for the US region.
To perform a silent installation of Epson Scan 2 , you generally need to extract the underlying
file from the standard executable or use specific command-line switches
. Because Epson does not provide a universal "silent install link," you must first download the standard driver for your specific model from the Epson Support Page
Method 1: Extract the MSI (Recommended for Windows/Intune/SCCM)
Many Epson installers are self-extracting wrappers that contain an MSI file required for silent deployment. Run the Installer : Start the downloaded file on a test machine. Locate Temp Files
: While the first install prompt is still open, navigate to your temporary folder: C:\Users\
or similar file. Copy the entire folder to your deployment server. Silent Install Command : Use the following command for silent deployment: msiexec.exe /i "setup.msi" /qn /norestart Method 2: Command Line Switches (EXE)
If you prefer using the executable directly, try common silent switches. Note that success varies by specific driver version. Common Command Setup.exe /s /v"/qn" Alternative Setup.exe /silent Setup.exe /quiet Method 3: Linux Silent Installation
For Linux environments, Epson provides a script-based installation method. Run Script ./install.sh Help Command ./install.sh --help to see additional automated flags. Post-Installation: Network Setup
Silent installation installs the software, but network scanners often require manual configuration through the Epson Scan 2 Utility Open the utility and click to search for scanners on the local network. You can also manually enter the scanner's IP address if it is not automatically discovered. for a particular Epson model? Setting Up Network Scanning - Epson

Once the process is complete, you can verify the installation by checking for the Epson Scan 2
folder in C:\Program Files\EPSON\Epson Scan 2 or by looking for the application in the Windows "Apps & Features" menu.
Epson Scan 2 : Silent Installation Guide Epson Scan 2 can be deployed silently to multiple workstations, which is essential for IT administrators managing enterprise environments. While the standard executable from the Epson Support Page is intended for manual installation, it can be adapted for automated deployment using specific command-line switches. 1.

Open the downloaded .exe with a tool like 7-Zip or run the installer and navigate to the temporary folder (usually C:\Users\[User]\AppData\Local\Temp\) before clicking "Next". Look for a folder containing Setup.exe or an .msi file. Command Line Arguments:
For the extracted Setup.exe, use: Setup.exe /SI -sms /Nodisp.
For universal Epson drivers, the switch /s is commonly used to trigger a silent install.
If you find an .msi file, use the standard Windows Installer command: msiexec /i "path_to_msi" /qn. 3. Alternative Deployment Tools
For complex environments, Epson provides specialized utilities: Scanning over a network using Epson Scan 2
Epson Scan 2 can be silently installed using specific command-line switches, though the method varies depending on whether you are using the standard installer or have extracted the Method 1: Silent Install via Standard EXE The most common silent install switch for Epson's driver packages is Command Syntax: Epson_Scan2_Installer.exe /s This command must be run from an Elevated Command Prompt (Run as Administrator) to avoid permission errors. JustAnswer Method 2: MSI Extraction and Deployment
For more complex deployments (like Microsoft Intune), many users extract the file from the temporary directory created when the is first launched. Locate MSI:

Epson does not provide a single static "silent install link." Instead, you must download the version specific to your scanner model from the official support portal: Global Support Portal: Steps to Download: Navigate to the Epson Support Page and enter your product name Epson Scan 2 and download the utility. Troubleshooting and Tips Or using the same installer: ES2_W64_6720
While Epson does not provide a single, universal "silent install link," administrators can achieve a silent deployment by extracting the installer files and using standard command-line switches. This process is essential for IT teams using deployment tools like Microsoft Intune or PDQ Deploy. Where to Find the Epson Scan 2 Download Link
To begin, you must locate the specific driver for your hardware model. Epson does not offer a generic Scan 2 installer; it is bundled with the model-specific drivers. Navigate to the official Epson Support Page.
Enter your scanner or printer model name (e.g., "ET-4850" or "ES-400"). Select your operating system.
Expand the Drivers section and click Download next to Epson Scan 2 or the Drivers and Utilities Combo Package. How to Perform a Silent Installation on Windows
Standard Epson .exe installers are often self-extracting wrappers. To deploy them silently, you can use these two common methods: Method 1: Using the Command Line Switches
Most Epson installers support standard InstallShield or basic silent switches. Try running the executable via the Command Prompt (as Administrator) with the following flags: filename.exe /S /v/qn filename.exe /silent Method 2: Extracting the MSI for Intune/GPO
If the switches above do not work, you can manually extract the .msi file for more reliable deployment:
Run the downloaded .exe installer but do not click "Next" once the first screen appears.
Navigate to your temporary files folder: C:\Users\[YourUsername]\AppData\Local\Temp.
Look for a recently created folder (often starting with WZSE or containing the software name). Inside, locate the MSI folder or setup.msi file. Copy this folder to your deployment server.
Use the standard MSI silent command:msiexec /i "setup.msi" /qn Silent Installation on Linux
For Linux environments, Epson Scan 2 can be installed via the command line using the install.sh script included in the downloaded package.
Auto-Install Script: Run ./install.sh from the terminal. Use ./install.sh --help to see available flags. Manual Commands:
Debian/Ubuntu: sudo dpkg --install epsonscan2_[version].deb. RHEL/CentOS: sudo rpm --upgrade epsonscan2-[version].rpm. Post-Installation: Network Scanner Setup Epson Scan 2 Manual
