Silent Installations and Removals

8. Click Cancel when the InstallShield wizard opens and click Yes to

exit the setup.

9. Open a command line window, such as a DOS window.

10. Navigate to the directory where you unpacked the Initialization

Utility files (the Initialization Utility Setup.exe file and all
supporting files). You will run the Setup.exe file in the next
section.

Creating a response file

1. Create a response file for the Initialization Utility by issuing the

command below. The response file will store the setup
configuration so that you can install the Initialization Utility on
all attached Windows servers using one command. Since no input
is required, this is referred to as a silent installation.

The command will launch an InstallShield Wizard. Pathnames or
filenames containing spaces must be in double quotation marks, for
example, "C:\my dir\my file.cfg".

Setup.exe -r -f1

fullpath\responsefilename

where

-r

Indicates that a response file will be created.

-f1

fullpath\responsefilename

Specifies the full path name and filename of the target
response file (in this case the Initialization Utility).

2. If the response file is not already in a shared directory, move it to

a shared directory so that all attached Windows servers can
access the file.
