If you're looking for a Microsoft Silent Install (MSI) file, you'll find it here.
SketchUp has the option to be run silently for distributed installations. You won't need this option unless you're deploying SketchUp on a large scale. If you're working with larger installations and a network license, be sure to read our article on that subject as well: Administering a Network License
Please note, this is an advanced procedure and should only be handled by your network administrator.
