You can use the GlassFish ESB command-line installation script to perform a complete default installation silently. A silent installation means that you will not interact with the Installer, nor will you see the process unless you open the directory to which you are installing. When performing a default installation, there is no need to generate the state file first.
If you want to perform a default installation but also generate a state file, perform the steps under Generating the State File for Silent Installations but do not perform the uninstallation step.
Plan your installation by reading Planning for GlassFish ESB Installation, which contains information necessary for you to complete a successful installation of GlassFish ESB such as supported platforms, operating system limitations, and parameter definitions.
Install the JDK software and set JAVA_HOME. For more information, see Installing the JDK Software and Setting JAVA_HOME
Navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installation executable file.
Run the installation file with the --silent option.
For example:
glassfishesb-v2.1-full-installer-windows.exe --silent
GlassFish ESB is installed in the default directory.
A log file is generated in your home directory under /.glassfishesb-v2.1-full-installer-hostname_date/log so you can track the progress of the installation. For windows, this file is located in \Documents and Settings\user_name.
