Chapter 1 Installation Overview : Installer Overview

Installer Overview
The installer allows you to run in different modes. Each mode is supported on all platforms.
GUI Mode
In GUI mode, the installer presents panels that allow you to make choices about product selection, product location, and so on. When you run the installer by double-clicking on the icon, GUI mode is used.
Console Mode
Console mode allows you to run the installer from the command prompt or terminal window. This is useful if your machine does not have a Windows environment.
Silent Mode
Silent mode either installs using default settings or uses a response file that was saved during an earlier installation. Silent mode installs without prompting you for information.
If no response file has been recorded earlier and you run the installer with the -silent argument, the default installation parameters are used.
If a response file exists, and the installer is started with -options responseFile as an argument, the installer uses the values specified by the user when the response file was generated.
