Silent install and uninstall
All of the parameters for the silent install are optional. If you do not provide a value for the “lic” parameter, the installer searches the files in the installer directory in ascending alphabetic order for a valid license file. It uses the first valid license file it finds to install PowerBuilder and InfoMaker. If you do not provide the “lic” parameter and there is no license file in the installer search path, an evaluation version of PowerBuilder is installed.
The parameters can be listed in any order and are not case sensitive. Parameter values are also not case sensitive.
Silent install parameter | Description | ||
licPathNameOrServerName | The full path to a valid license file with an LIC | ||
| extension, or the name of a server hosting a served | ||
| license. If a license server requires a port number, | ||
| you can include the port number after the server | ||
| name separated by a colon. For example: | ||
|
| silentinstall.bat “lic=myServer:1688” | |
|
| ||
product | Names the product or products to install. Values are: | ||
| • | All (default) Installs PowerBuilder and | |
|
| InfoMaker | |
| • | PB | Installs PowerBuilder only |
| • | IM | Installs InfoMaker only |
|
| ||
directoryName | Indicates the main installation directory. If you omit | ||
| this parameter, the main product components install | ||
| to the sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\productName | ||
| directory, where sysDriver is the main computer | ||
| drive and productName is either PowerBuilder 11.5 | ||
| or InfoMaker 11.5. | ||
|
| ||
sharedDirectoryName | Indicates the shared directory for PowerBuilder or | ||
| InfoMaker. If you omit this parameter, this directory | ||
| installs to sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\Shared. | ||
|
| ||
logFileName | Names the log file for the installation. If you omit | ||
| this parameter, the log file is written to the system | ||
| Temp directory with the file name silentinstall.log. | ||
|
|
|
|
If the license file you point to in the licPathNameOrServerName parameter is a professional or desktop license, InfoMaker will not be installed.
The following example uses all five parameters for the silent install command:
silentinstall.bat "lic=D:\pb115\pb115.lic" "opt=pb" "dir=D:\pb115" "shr=D:\shared" "log=D:\install.log"
