To Create a State File

1. Navigate to the directory that contains the setup script and other installation files.

2. Start the installation program.

   • Graphical installation mode:

     • ./setup --savestate (UNIX)

     • setup --savestate (Windows)

   • Command line installation mode:

     • ./setup --console --savestate (UNIX)

     • setup --console --savestate (Windows)

3. Perform the installation as described in the installation steps in Installing in Graphical Mode or Installing in Command-Line Mode on UNIX and Linux.

   The state file is created and saved in the installation directory (/sun/webserver7 by default on UNIX, C:\Program Files\sun\webserver7 on Windows). The default name of the file is statefile, but the file name can be changed if desired. For information about using the state file for silent installation, see Running the Installer in Silent Mode.
