Siebel Installation Guide for Microsoft Windows: Servers, Mobile Web Clients, Tools > Non-GUI Installation > Process of Unattended Installation and Configuration >

Running the Installation from the Command Line

After you have modified the appropriate siebel.ini files in the previous procedure, run the unattended installation from the command line. However, before running an unattended installation, be aware of the following guidelines:

• Any data entry error that you make during installation is captured in the installation log file log.txt, located in the SIEBEL_ROOT directory. Consider using the -log logfile option to create an additional setup initialization log file.
• You must have a network image created to use for installation. For more details on creating a network image, see Creating a Network Image.

NOTE:  These instructions are for installing the Siebel Enterprise Server using unattended mode. Installation in unattended mode of other server products is similar.

CAUTION:  When using Terminal Services on Microsoft Windows 2003 to perform an unattended installation, make sure you set the mode to installation. Otherwise, the install process will not create the Siebel ODBC DSN and you will not be able to bring the server up.

To install in unattended mode

• From a DOS prompt, navigate to the Windows\Server\Siebel_Enterprise_Server directory and enter:

  setup.exe -args SS_SETUP_INI=main_installer_siebel.ini_path

  where:

  • main_installer_siebel.ini_path = The full path to the main installer siebel.ini file

    NOTE:  If you directly copied DVD content (rather than using the network image utility, as described under Creating a Network Image), you might need to include the following in the command line: LanguageDir=language_directory_parent, which specifies the full path to the directory immediately above the language directory.

    For example:

  setup.exe -args SS_SETUP_INI=E:\Windows\Server\Siebel_Enterprise_Server\siebel.ini

  NOTE:  Because configuration is not supported in unattended mode, launch the Configuration Wizard if you want to configure the server. For details on how to launch and use the Configuration Wizard, see Installing the Siebel Server.
