Batch Installation Using the -b Switch

The syntax for running the Progress Installation utility in batch mode follows:

<directory_pathname>/proinst 
-b <path>/<filename.ini> -l <path>/<logfile.log> 

In the syntax above, directory pathname refers to the directory where the Progress Installation utility, the installation support files, and the archive files can be found.

For example, a typical batch installation command might be:

proinst -b /test/install.ini -l /log/test.log 

If no installation .ini file is specified as the argument to the switch -b, the Progress Installation utility searches the current directory for the default installation .ini file, install.ini. If no .ini file is found, the batch installation fails.

If no directory is specified in the argument to the -b switch, the Installation utility searches the current directory for the specified .ini file.

See the "Log File" section in this chapter for an explanation of the -l switch.
