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 will be captured in the installation log file log.txt, located in the SIEBEL_ROOT directory. Consider using the -log logfile command to create an additional setup initialization log file.
All CDs should be mounted or you must have a staging point to use for installation. For more details on creating staging point, see Creating a Staging Point.

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

CAUTION:  Do not use Microsoft Terminal Services to run an unattended installation or your installation may fail.

To install in unattended mode

From a DOS prompt, navigate to the \ses directory and enter:

setup.exe -args ss_setup_ini=main installer siebel.ini path LanguageDir=language directory parent

where:

main installer siebel.ini path is the full path to the main installer siebel.ini file.

language directory parent is the full path to the language parent directory on the language CD. This eliminates the prompt for CD swapping.

NOTE:  If you created a staging point as described under Creating a Staging Point, omit the code line: languagedir=language directory parent.

For example:

setup.exe -args ss_setup_ini=E:\windows_server_ses_base\ses\siebel.ini LanguageDir=E:\windows_server_ses_lang\ses

NOTE:  Since 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, refer to Installing the Siebel Server.
