Silent installation parameter

Description

opt

Names the product or products to install.

This parameter is optional to InfoMaker.

dir

Indicates the main installation directory. If you omit this parameter, silentinstall installs the product to the sysDriver\Program Files\Appeon\productName directory, where sysDriver is the main computer drive, and productName is InfoMaker 2017 R3.

shr

Indicates the shared directory for InfoMaker. If you omit this parameter, this directory installs to sysDriver\Program Files\Appeon\Shared.

log

Names the log file for the installation. If you omit this parameter, the log file is written to the system Temp directory with the file name, silentinstall.log.

help or /?

Displays command syntax and parameters instead of running the command.


The following example uses all parameters for the silent installation command:

silentinstall.bat "dir=D:\appeon\im170" "shr=D:\appeon\shared" "log=D:\appeon\install.log"

When installing InfoMaker, the log file includes a warning if the setup computer does not have a working copy of SQL Anywhere. If SQL Anywhere is not found, the demonstration databases and code examples are not installed for InfoMaker.
