Silent Install and Uninstall for the PBVM

This topic describes the silentinstall.bat command syntax for the PowerBuilder VM.

If you are running the PBVM installation from the DOS command prompt, you can run the silent installation using the following syntax:

silentinstall.bat [ "asp=aspPathName" "shr=sharedDirectoryName" "log=logFileName" ]

You can list the parameters in any order. Parameters and their values are not case sensitive.

Silent installation parameter Description
aspPathName Names the full path where the EAServer support files are to be installed. If you omit this parameter, the default value is the EAServer folder. For example:

%SystemDrive%\Program Files\Sybase\EAServer

sharedDirectoryName Indicates the shared directory for PowerBuilder or InfoMaker. If you omit this parameter, the installed directory is %SystemDrive%\Program Files\Sybase\Shared.
logFileName Names the log file for the installation. If you omit this parameter, the log file is written to the system Temp directory with the file name, silentinstall.log.

The following example uses all three parameters to silently install the PBVM:

silentinstall.bat "asp=D:\EAServer" "shr=D:\shared" "log=D:\install.log"

To uninstall the PBVM in silent mode, run the silentuninstall.bat script in the PBVM directory.
