Yes, it's possible to deploy a silent installation of the MATLAB trial version. Here are the general steps to follow:

• Download the MATLAB installation file from the MathWorks website, and save it to a location on your computer.
• Open the Windows command prompt or PowerShell as an administrator.
• Navigate to the folder where the installation file is located using the cd (change directory) command.
• Run the installation file with the "-inputFile" parameter followed by the path to the silent installation configuration file. For example:

setup.exe -inputFile C:\path\to\silent_config_file.txt

• Create a silent installation configuration file in a text editor (e.g. Notepad), and save it with a .txt extension. In this file, you can specify installation options, such as the installation location, license agreement acceptance, and feature selection. The format of the configuration file can be found in the official MATLAB documentation.

Here's an example of what the content of the silent installation configuration file could look like:

destinationFolder=C:\MATLAB
agreeToLicense=yes
mode=silent

This configuration file specifies that MATLAB should be installed in the "C:\MATLAB" directory, that the user agrees to the license agreement, and that the installation should be run in silent mode.
