Installing in Silent Mode

You can run the installer in silent mode from the command line. To do this you must create a response file to provide the information the installer needs. A response file is a text file which contains the information a user would typically provide while running the Setup wizard or responding to command-line prompts. This information is in this format:name=value

To create a response file that contains the necessary data, first run the command-line installer in one of these ways:

Using default mode, with no arguments. After the installation finishes, the installer creates a response file named response.varfile.

After the installation finishes, the installer creates the response file and stores it in the .install4j directory. This file contains name = value data captured during the installation process. You can edit this file if necessary to modify the values. Here is an example:

#install4j response file for (application/version)
#Wed Mar 16 16:53:12 EDT 2011
sys.languageId=en
sys.installationDir=d\:\\(application/version

Create a copy of response.varfile and uninstall the standard installation.

You can then pass the response file to the installer using the -varfile parameter. For example, to run the installer in unattended mode using a response file, include these parameters: ODSE13.0.0.0.#####W64.exe -q -varfile x:\response.varfile

Parameter	Description
-q	Runs the installer in unattended mode.
-varfile	Varfilename specifies the name of the response.varfile to use. You can include a full path.
#####	is the build number
