Executing NetSetup With the Silent Installation Option
Once the sertup.iss file exists, the installation process using the silent mode can be initiated.
To initiate NetSetup with the silent installation option, enter the following command on the command line to run NetSetup in silence:
DLC\netsetup
The path to where the NetSetup utility resides in the Progress Version 9.1E product file structure.
setup.exe
The command to run the NetSetup program.
-psclog
Required parameter to run NetSetup in silent installation mode. This parameter is also used to identify a path to a log file that contains information about the status of the silent installation.
In this example command entry, the new log file will be created in the temp directory on the C: drive as indicated in the sample command entry.
The log file created by the installation program is called PscNetSetupMsg.log.
-s
Required parameter to run an installation without requiring user interaction. This parameter is executed with the setup.exe to run a silent installation.
Figure 3–2 shows the contents of the PscNetupMsg.log file.

Details About the PscNetSetupMsg.log File
Review the following points concerning the log file PscNetSetupMsg.log:
- You must supply the absolute path to the log file because the installation program is shared by other users. Without this explicit path information, the standard Installshield log file might be incorrectly written to by more than one instance of the setup.exe file which would corrupt the file.
- The PscNetSetupMsg.log file automatically logs all error messages and all successful installation messages as reported by the installation code.
