Installing in Silent Mode

When you run the installer in silent mode, the installer does not prompt for your input. Instead, the values specified in a response file are used to complete the installation. You can use a default pre-configured response file or create your own response file.

By default, the installer uses the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwce_<version>.silent file, which is included in the directory that contains the universal installer.

To customize the silent installer:

  • Make a backup copy of the TIBCOUniversalInstaller_bwce_<version>.silent file and edit the file itself. You can then run the silent installer with or without the response file argument.

  2. Using a text editor, open the copied file and update the installation location and features to install.
