Running the InstallShield Silent Utility

As an alternative to the standard interactive installation, you can install OpenEdge Management without being prompted for input.

To run the InstallShield Silent utility:

  1. Create a response file.
  2. See either the "Creating a response file automatically" section or the "Creating the response file manually" section for information about creating a response file.

  3. Run OpenEdge Management's setup.exe using the -psc_-s option.
  4. Note the following syntax:

    setup.exe -psc_s -psc_f1=<path>\<response-file-name> 
    [-psc_f2=<path>\<logfile-name>] 
    

    By default, InstallShield looks for a response file named fathomsetup.ini in your Windows directory. During the installation, a log file named fathomsetup.log is created in your Windows directory. Use the -f1 option to specify an alternate directory and filename for the response file. Use the -f2 option to specify an alternate directory and filename for the log file.

    Note: Be sure that there is no space between -f1 and the equal sign, -f2 and the equal sign, or the equal sign and the pathnames that follow.

For more information about creating a response file or running a silent install, see OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration.
