Creating a Response File

Record installation responses into a response file, which is a text file you can edit to change any responses before using it in subsequent installations.

Note: Versions 15.6 and later use a rearchitected installation program that is incompatible with response files generated for versions 15.5.x and earlier. Do not use response files from these versions; instead, create a new one from a 15.7.1 SP200 installation.

When installing in GUI or console mode, the -r command line argument records your responses to the installation wizard’s prompts and creates a response file when the installation wizard exits.

To generate a response file during installation, enter:

x:\setupConsole.exe -r responseFileName

where x is the location of the installer.

When specifying the response file name, include its full path. For example:

C:\Sybase\REP\ResponseFile.txt
