The command you use to initiate, or play back, the response file is the same regardless of which data input option you choose. The OpenEdge silent installer runs without intervention after you enter the command to start the process.

Syntax

path-to-install-media\setup.exe -psc_s [-notify]
-psc_f1=path\response-file [-psc_f2=path\logfile] [-hide_progress -hide_splash]
path-to-install-media\setup.exe

Runs an OpenEdge installation. You can run the installation from the directory that contains the installation executable that you downloaded from the Progress Download Center.

-psc_s

Specifies a silent installation.

-notify

Specifies that the installation dialog boxes that are displayed are to contain details about the current installation phase and percent complete. (This argument is supported for backward compatibility only.)

Progress recommends that you set up your installation to poll the log file for status of the installation. You can programmatically set up a query, checking the Runtime Status and Result Code values in the log file. See Check the status of the silent installation log file to review the contents of a sample oesetup.log file that contains Runtime Status and Result Code details.

-psc_f1=path\response-file

Specifies the full path of the response file. By default, the silent installation searches for the response file oesetup.ini in the same directory in which setup.exe is located.

-psc_f2=path\logfile

Creates an installation log file. If no path or name is specified, the file oesetup.log is created in the Windows directory by default.

-hide_progress -hide_splash

Hides the graphical user interface and splash screen during the installation process, enabling a completely silent mode installation.

Note: Make sure that no space characters are inserted between a command line argument and its options. Command line entries and options are case sensitive.

Example

The following is an example command that executes a silent installation:

\\cd-server\OpenEdge\setup.exe
-psc_s -psc_f1=C:\SilentInstalls\response.ini
    -psc_f2=C:\SilentInstalls\oesetup.log -hide_progress -hide_splash
