Create an Empty Response File and Manually Add Values

Create a response file with placeholders for required values. Then, add the values to the response file before running the installer.

  1. Complete the steps in Start the Response File Build Utility, selecting 2 in the main menu of the utility.
  2. Select the type of response file to create.
      1) Silent Install
      2) Silent Deinstall
    
  3. When prompted, specify an absolute path for the directory for saving the response files or press Enter to use the default.
  4. Use a text editor to edit the response file and provide values for all non-password parameters. See Response File Parameters. Entries must meet the parameter requirements or the silent-mode will fail.

    IMPORTANT: Do not add or modify any passwords. You must use the utility to create encrypted password values.

  5. Proceed to Add Encrypted Passwords to a Response File to add the passwords to the response file.
