A silent or unattended installation does not involve user interaction; and all installation configuration information is taken from the response file. This is useful when you want multiple identical installations or a fully automated.
To install in silent mode, run:
x:\setupConsole.exe -f responseFileName -i silent -DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
Where:
x – is the location of the installer.
responseFileName – is the absolute path of the file containing the installation options you chose.
-D option– specifies that you agree with the Sybase License Agreement text.
WARNING! When running in silent installation mode, Sybase recommends that you use setupConsole.exe. The normal setup.exe runs the installation program in the background, and gives the impression that the installation has terminated immediately. This results in additional installation attempts. Multiple installations at the same time can corrupt the Windows Registry and lead to an operating system restart failure.
Except for the absence of the GUI screens, all actions of the installer are the same, and the result of an installation in silent mode is exactly the same as one done in GUI mode with the same responses.
You must agree to the Sybase License Agreement when
installing in silent mode. You can either:
Include the option -DAGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true in
the command line argument.
Edit the response file to include the property AGREE_TO_SYBASE_LICENSE=true
