Performing a Silent Installation

Make sure you have the correct version of the modified SilentInstall_Win.txt file in the installer image, then run the SilentInstall_Win.bat file from the command prompt.

  1. On temporary or test servers, for each type of installation that you are automating, perform a trial run of these instructions using your modified SilentInstall_Win.txt files.
    Verify that each modified SilentInstall_Win.txt file is producing the desired installation outcome before proceeding with silent installations on the real target hosts.
  2. Make sure that the top level directory in the installer image you are using contains the correct version of the SilentInstall_Win.txt file that you have modified for a particular installation type.
  3. From the command prompt on that server, navigate to the top level directory in the installer image and enter:
    SilentInstall_Win.bat
  4. Check the log files for errors.
    • Errors that cause the silent installation to fail before the install destination is created are logged in <InstallDrive>\UPInstall.log.
    • Errors encountered after the install destination is created are logged in <UnwiredPlatformHome>\InstallLogs\UPInstall.log.
  5. Repeat these steps on different servers for each different type of installation you are automating.
