7. You can install and configure the Bold BI Enterprise Edition in two ways.

   a. Configure the application during the installation

   If you need to configure the Bold BI application during the silent installation itself, you can use the following command.

   boldbienterpriseedition_5.1.55_0534.exe /Install Silent /InstallPath:C:\Program Files (x86)\Bold BI Enterprise Edition\ /IISPortNo:56561 /IISSiteName:"BoldBIEnterpriseEdition" /IsSetFirewall:TRUE /IsDesktopShortcut:TRUE /IsStartMenuShortcut:TRUE /IsSilentStartUp:True /JsonFilePath: C:\Users\BuildAutomation\Desktop\v2_application_startup.json

   Once the setup installation is completed, the Bold BI application will be configured, and ready to start dashboarding.

   To configure the application during the installation process, you need to provide the database server information. Download the v2_application_startup JSON file and enter all the required inputs. Once you have completed the input, pass the file path to the JsonFilePath parameter.

   b. Install the application alone and configure the application using UI
