Upgrading IOS_XE without command prompt

[ThorbenB]

Hello,
is there any possibility to install a IOS upgrade/update without getting a command prompt with the install command?
I do it like this:install add file flash:FILE.bin
install activate
(And then comes the command prompt: This operation requires a reload of the system. Do you want to proceed? [y/n])
is there any you to "force -y" or something like that ?
It is the same result sending this command:
install add file flash:FILE.bin activate commit.

Hi
If you did int in bundle mode .bin , you could just set the boot statements then reload without having to use the install command at all

Unfortunately I am not able/allowed to change the mode to bundled mode.
Is there any way or workaround for the install mode?

Sorry not that i have seen , install mode is very specific in upgrades, the release notes for your version will tell you exactly though but i have read most of them have never seen a force type command in install

Change the boot statement to boot only the BIN file and it will be fine.
