To run a silent installation of QMF for Workstation,
you distribute the response file among the user machines to that you
want to install the application.
Before you begin
You must have the response file.
About this task
To run the silent installation :
Procedure
- Optional: If you want the JDBC, repository
storage, repository connection, and license information to be included
in the user installation, copy the repositories connections file (
repositories.xml
),
the JDBC driver file (.bi.jdbc.drivers
), license
file (*.lic
), and storage file (.storage
)
from the application home directory to the directory where the installation
executable is stored.
- To prepare for the silent mode,
rename the response file to installer.properties and
place it in the same directory with setupwin32.exe or setupwin64.exe.
Use the command line to pass the following arguments for the Windows OS:
setupwin32.exe
-i silent
or
setupwin64.exe -i silent
where:
-i silent
: specifies that the installation software
runs in silent mode.
Note: If you want to use the response file that is stored in
the directory that is different from the one where the installation
executable is stored, specify the absolute path to the response file
in the argument:
setupwin32.exe -i silent -f C:\drive_path\response_file.properties
or
setupwin64.exe
-i silent -f C:\drive_path\response_file.properties
Results
The installation is silent; the product directories are created
without notification to the user.
