Installing CAS silently on Windows

The silent installer is useful if you want to add the CAS installation to an install script, or push out the installation on multiple machines. The silent installer is not interactive.

To launch the silent installer on Windows:

  1. From a command prompt, navigate to the directory where you downloaded the installer.

  2. Create a response file with the appropriate properties.

    Guided Search property NameDescription
    INSTALLDIR Required. Specifies the absolute path to the directory to install CAS (e.g., C:\\Endeca\\CAS). Keep in mind that you cannot install the software in a directory with spaces in its name.

    Note

    If you do not use the default location, and you are installing more than one Guided Search product on the same machine, ensure that you install each product to a separate location.

    CASPORT Required. The port on which the CAS Service listens. The default is 8500.
    CASSHUTDOWNPORT Required. The shutdown port for the CAS Service. The default is 8506.
    ENDECA_TOOLS_ROOT Required. C:\\Endeca\\ToolsAndFrameworks\\11.3.0
    ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF Required. C:\\Endeca\\ToolsAndFrameworks\\11.3.0\\server\\workspace

    Example: 

    INSTALLDIR=C:\\Endeca\\CAS 
  CASPORT=8500 
  CASSHUTDOWNPORT=8506
  ENDECA_TOOLS_ROOT=C:\\Endeca\\ToolsAndFrameworks\\11.3.0
  ENDECA_TOOLS_CONF=C:\\Endeca\\ToolsAndFrameworks\\11.3.0\\server\\workspace

  3. Issue a command of the following form: 

    OCcas-<version>-win32.exe -i silent -f cas_response.properties

When the CAS installation is complete, the CAS Service starts automatically.

After CAS is installed, set the CAS_ROOT environment variable to the location where you installed CAS, for example, C:\Endeca\CAS\11.3.0.
