TIBCO® Enterprise Administrator 2.4.2

# Installing in the Silent Mode

You can run the installer without user input by pointing the installer to a response file. A default configured response file exists.

In the silent mode, the installer does not prompt for inputs during installation but reads the inputs from a response file. By default, the installer uses the TIBCOUniversalInstaller-product_version.silent file, which is included in the directory that contains the universal installer.

You can customize the silent installer as follows:

- Make a backup copy of the file and edit the file itself. The name of the backup copy file depends on the variant of TIBCO Enterprise Administrator you are using. If you are using TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, use `TIBCOUniversalInstaller_tea_<version>.silent`. If you are using TIBCO Enterprise Administrator SDK, use `TIBCOUniversalInstaller_tea-sdk_<version>.silent`. You can then run the silent installer with or without the response file argument.
- Make a copy of the silent mode installer and name the copy. The name of the file depends on the variant of TIBCO Enterprise Administrator you are using. If you are using TIBCO Enterprise Administrator, use `TIBCOUniversalInstaller_tea_<version>.silent`. If you are using IBCO Enterprise Administrator SDK, use `TIBCOUniversalInstaller_tea-sdk_<version>.silent` file and name the copy. You can then run the silent installer, passing in your custom response file.

Procedure
1. Open the physical media or download the package.
2. Extract the contents of the package to a temporary directory.
3. Using a console window, navigate to the temporary directory.
4. Make a copy of the `TIBCOUniversalInstaller_tea-sdk_<version>.silent` or `TIBCOUniversalInstaller_tea_<version>.silent` file and rename the file.
5. Using a text editor, open the copied file. You can update the install location, ENV_NAME, and features to install.
   1. Update the install location. The default location is:`<entry key="installationRoot">C:\tibco</entry>`.
   2. Update features to install. Set the features that you want to install to `true.`
   3. If you want to register the TIBCO Enterprise Administrator server as an NT service, include the following entry: `<entry key="teaWindowsServiceType"> manual</entry>.`
6. Run the silent installer with or without the optional response file.
   Windows: TIBCOUniversalInstaller.cmd -silent [-V responseFile="myfile.silent" ]
   UNIX: TIBCOUniversalInstaller.bin -silent [-V responseFile='myfile.silent']
