Why does the installer GUI show up when trying to go through a silent installation?

I am trying to go through the silent installation process by running the following command:

 setup.exe -inputFile installer_input.txt (Windows)
 ./install -inputFile installer_input.txt (Unix)

However, one of the following two occurs:

1. The installer GUI continues to show up.

or

2, I receive the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------- 

Error: Installation cannot proceed. You may either:

1. Set an X11 display, and restart the install process

2. Use the silent install feature by specifying the -mode silent option

Please input the full path of the installer properties file so that the file gets read properly. The command should look something like:

setup.exe -inputFile C:\full\path\to\installer_input.txt

./install -inputFile /full/path/to/installer_input.txt

If you do not input the absolute path, MATLAB will not read the installer properties file. Instead, MATLAB will start the interactive installation process instead.
