Chapter 4: Performing an <strong>OpenEdge</strong> <strong>Installation</strong> in Windows<br />

Running the Silent installation option for the Shared<br />

Network <strong>Installation</strong> Utility<br />

NetSetup supports a Silent installation process. The process is comparable to<br />

performing a Silent installation of the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> installation. Data entered during a<br />

NetSetup installation is recorded <strong>and</strong> played back at a later date to initiate the<br />

installation silently.<br />

To perform a NetSetup Silent installation, however, you must create your own<br />

response file. Unlike the <strong>OpenEdge</strong> installation, response.ini is created by default<br />

during a NetSetup installation.<br />

The information in this section describes:<br />

• Creating a user-defined response file<br />

• Executing NetSetup with the Silent installation option<br />

Creating a user-defined response file<br />

Before you can run the NetSetup utility in Silent installation mode, you must create the<br />

user-response file. This file records the values that the NetSetup utility needs to<br />

successfully complete the Silent installation process. This section describes how to<br />

create a response file using the interactive method.<br />

To create this file, you must perform an initial interactive installation, providing the<br />

required values.<br />

To create the user-defined response file using the interactive installation mode:<br />

1. Enter the following comm<strong>and</strong> on the comm<strong>and</strong> line:<br />

setup.exe<br />

-r<br />

drive:\destination path\netsetup\setup.exe -r<br />

[-f1C:\\response-file]<br />

The comm<strong>and</strong> to run the NetSetup program interactively.<br />

Directs the install to create the response file using the interactive method.<br />

The response file is an editable text file. If you do not specify the response<br />

filename with the -f1 parameter, the file is named setup.ini.<br />

Note: The -r parameter is the recommended method to ensure that you<br />

create a complete response file.<br />

-f1\<br />

Specifies the name of the response file. By default, the install will look for the<br />

file setup.ini in the same directory as setup.exe is located.<br />
