Installing the Client in Unattended, Silent Mode

After running the installer in GUI mode and recording the responses into a response file, edit the file to customize the responses.

To install in unattended, silent mode, run the following, where responseFileName is the absolute path of the file name containing the installation options you chose:

setupConsole.exe –f responseFileName -i silent
-DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true

Agree to the Sybase License Agreement when installing in silent mode by either:

Including this text in the command line argument -DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true, or,
Editing the response file to include the property AGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true.

The only difference when you install the client in silent mode is the absence of the GUI screens. All actions and responses are the same as using InstallAnywhere.

Warning! SAP recommends that, when you run a silent installation, you use setupConsole.exe, which runs in the foreground. setup.exe runs in the background, giving you the impression that the installation has terminated, resulting in additional installation attempts using the silent installation. Multiple, simultaneous installations may corrupt the Windows Registry and lead to a failure to restart the operating system.
