Silent Installations

The Local ODBC Client installer provides a command-line option for silent installations on Windows servers. Silent installations are useful for system administrators who want to create a batch file to execute multiple identical installations of the Local ODBC Client.

For example, if you want to install a licensed copy of the Local ODBC Client on a 32-bit machine configuring only the OpenAccess SDK for Java, and specifying the location of the Java Virtual Machine (JVM) to use if AutoDetect does not identify the JVM location, you would use the following command from the directory that contains the installation file:

oaodbclocal32_win_9_0_0_0001_setup.exe /s /v"NAME=QA COMPANY=DataDirect SERIAL=EVAL INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\DataDirect\oaodbclocal90\" CSERVICE=TRUE JSERVICE=TRUE NSERVICE=FALSE SERVICENAME_C=OpenAccessSDK900_C SERVICENAME_JAVA=OpenAccessSDK900_Java SERVICENAME_JAVA_SQL=OpenAccessSDK900_Java_SQL JVMAUTODETECT=YES JVMLOCATION=\"C:\Program Files\Java\jre8\bin\client\" /qn /l*v \"c:\oaodbclocal32_java_yes.txt\""
