Appendix B - SonicWALL Global VPN Client Installation Using the InstallShield Silent Response File

A normal (non-silent) installation of the SonicWALL Global VPN Client receives the necessary input from the user in the form of responses to dialog boxes. However, a silent installation does not prompt the user for input. A silent installation must get its user input from a different source. That source is the InstallShield Silent Response File (.iss file). This response file contains the information that an end user would enter as responses to dialog boxes when running a normal setup. A silent setup reads the necessary input from the response file at run time. The following instructions explain how to create and execute a silent installation of the SonicWALL Global VPN Client.

Creating the Silent Installation

The format of response files resembles that of an .ini file, but the response file has an .iss extensions. A response file is a plain text file consisting of sections containing data entries. To create a response file, simply run the setup with the -rcommand line parameter:

Setup.exe –r

Setup records all your installation choices in Setup.iss and places the file in the Windows folder. To use this response file in a normal installation, copy it into the default install location (normally Disk1 or the same folder as Setup.ins).
