Installing the ADO Client Silently

Note: The ADO and ADO.NET clients are currently available only in OpenAccess SDK 8.1. However, they are compatible with the OpenAccess SDK 9.0 server.

1. Using a command line, change to the directory where the installation file is located.

2. Using a command line, type the following command:

   oaado32_win_version_setup.exe /s /v"INSTALLDIR=install_dir
   OLEDBADMINDIR=install_dir\datasources /qn /l*v path\logname.txt"
   

   where

   install_dir is the installation directory, for example, \"C:\Program Files\DataDirect \oaado81\".

   version is the OpenAccess SDK version number. The /s switch specifies a silent installation.

   datasources is the directory in which configurations of ADO data sources will be stored.

   path*\*logname.txt` is the the path where you want the log file created, as well as the name of the log file.

3. Press ENTER. The installation will proceed, using defaults, without requiring any further interaction.

Other switches and properties can also be used to customize the installation; see the Microsoft Windows Installer SDK documentation.
