Installing in Silent Mode

In silent mode, you can run the installer without user input by pointing the installer to an existing response file.

Prerequisites

You must download the product installation package. For details, see Downloading the Installation Package.

A default response file named TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent is packaged with TIBCO Universal Installer. Before launching the silent installation, you should edit the response file with information about your environment. It is a good practice to make a copy of the default response file, then edit that file and use it for the installation.

  • If you invoke the installer with the -silent argument, the installer reads the input from the default response file.
  • If you invoke the installer with the -silent -V responseFile= filename argument, the installer reads the input from the specified response file.

To install the product in silent mode:

Procedure

  1. Navigate to the temporary folder to which you extracted the installation package and open the TIBCOUniversalInstaller.silent file.
  2. Update the response file directly, or make a copy of the response file first, and then update the copied file.
  3. On a command line, navigate to the temporary folder where you extracted the installation package.
  4. Enter the following command to start the installation: TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent [-V responseFile="filename"].
    Note: If you copy the response file to another folder, not the temporary folder containing the installer, you must provide the absolute path of the response file.
