When you install Pathways, the installer creates the file pathways_silent.properties in the directory where Pathways is installed. Once you have created a silent properties file on one computer, you can reuse it when you install Pathways on other computers so that you do not have to re-enter deployment information every time you use the installer. During a “silent” install, the information required by the installation dialogs is read from the properties file.
A silent install may be run from the command line as follows:
<full_Path_To_Installer>/ALPathways_<version> – f
<full_Path_To_Properties_File>/pathways_silent.properties
<full_Path_To_Installer>/ALPathways_v1-5_mp1 - f
<full_Path_To_Properties_File>/pathways_silent.properties
A silent install can be useful for distribution of the product across a uniform set of computers.
