To perform a Local Silent install of Progress OpenEdge, a response file is required. A response.ini file is created automatically during an interactive installation, recording all installation values as originally entered to play back with a Silent installation, in the OpenEdge Installation directory: <%DLC%>\install. Another copy of this file is in C:\Windows\oe_response.ini
In its simplest form, a silent installation is executed as follows using the response.ini file in the -psc_f1= argument:
<path-to-install-media>:\setup.exe -psc_s -psc_f1=<drive>:\<path>\<response-file-name> [-psc_f2=<drive>:\<path>\<logfile-name>]
-psc_f2 is an optional parameter indicating that an installation log will be created and specifies the pathname and filename of the log. If no filename is specified then the default name "oesetup.log" will be used. If a path is not specified then the file will be written to C:\Windows.
Example:
<path-to-install-media>:\setup.exe -psc_s -psc_f1=d:\OEinstallFiles\response.ini -psc_f2=d:\OEinstallFiles\Log\setup.log
Additional options for Silent installations are documented in the "OpenEdge Getting Started: Installation and Configuration" manual.
