You can install OpenEdge release products using either of the following methods:

  • Online, interactive installation—This method prompts you to make installation choices online and record your input in dialog boxes. The dialog boxes appear programmatically as determined by the products you identify to install and the type of install you choose to perform. After you complete the installation, the Setup Utility initializes your choices, enabling you to use the products after the installation.
    Note: Online help is provided with the installation program, and is accessible from Help or a specific Help control. The online help provides information and details the procedures required to complete each installation dialog box.
  • Silent installation—A silent, or batch mode, installation does not prompt you to interactively enter your installation choices. A silent installation reads your installation values and settings as recorded in a response file. Using specific commands, you initiate your response file to run without user interaction. A silent installation supports either a complete or a custom installation.
