Creating a Response File

Run the installer in interactive mode to capture your installation preferences in a response file. Then use the response file to reproduce your installation preferences.

Sybase Event Stream Processor provides a response file called installer.properties.template in the same directory as the installer. Populate this file with your installation preferences or use it as a template to create a custom response file. When creating a response file, save it in the same directory as the installer, and name it installer.properties. For multiple different installations, name each response file installer_<name>.properties where <name> is a user-defined identifier that distinguishes different installation settings.

You can input your installation preferences directly into the response file or you can run the interactive (GUI) installer:

  1. From a command line, navigate to the directory where the installation file (setupConsole.exe) resides.
  2. At the command line, run: setupConsole.exe –r <response file> i-silent where <response file> is the name of the response file. The specified file name should be an absolute path.
    This command launches the GUI installer and creates a response file. The response file saves the selections you make while installing with the GUI installer.
  3. (Optional) Modify the response file to correct any errors made during installation.
