+Silent/headless installation with custom parameters, ideal for IT deployments (SCCM, Intune, Group Policy) or enforcing connections to self-hosted servers. Works via either the MSI installer directly or `winget --custom`.
 
 **Available Parameters:**
 
 | Parameter | Description | Example Value |
 |-----------|-------------|---------------|
 | `STIRLING_SERVER_URL` | Pre-configure the server URL that the desktop app connects to | `http://192.168.1.53:2357/` |
-| `STIRLING_LOCK_CONNECTION` | Lock the connection mode to prevent users from changing server settings.<br/>Set to `1` to enforce self-hosted server only, preventing accidental connections to external servers. | `1` (locked) or `0` (unlocked) |
-
-**Example Installation Command:**
-
-```batch
-msiexec /i "Stirling-PDF-windows-x86_64.msi" /qn STIRLING_SERVER_URL="http://192.168.1.53:2357" STIRLING_LOCK_CONNECTION=1
-```
-
-**Command Breakdown:**
-- `msiexec` - Windows Installer command-line tool (included with all Windows installations) for installing, modifying, and performing operations on MSI packages
-- `/i` - Install the MSI package
-- `/qn` - Run silently with no user interface (quiet mode, no UI)
-- `STIRLING_SERVER_URL` - Automatically sets the server URL on first launch
-- `STIRLING_LOCK_CONNECTION=1` - Locks the connection to the specified server (users cannot change it)
-
-**Additional Parameters:**
-
-| Parameter | Description | Example |
-|-----------|-------------|---------|
-| `INSTALLDIR` | Custom installation directory | `INSTALLDIR="C:\CustomPath\Stirling-PDF"` |
-| `ALLUSERS` | Install for all users (requires admin).<br/>`1` = all users, `0` or omit = current user only | `ALLUSERS=1` |
+| `STIRLING_LOCK_CONNECTION` | Lock the connection mode so users cannot change the server. `1` = locked, `0` or omit = unlocked | `1` |
+| `INSTALLDIR` | Custom installation directory (MSI only) | `INSTALLDIR="C:\CustomPath\Stirling-PDF"` |
+| `ALLUSERS` | Install for all users (requires admin). `1` = all users, `0` or omit = current user | `ALLUSERS=1` |
