Sybase 6131765115041SS manual Silent install and uninstall for the PBVM

CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise

When installing PowerBuilder, the silent install writes warnings to its log file if the setup computer does not have any of the following items: SQL Anywhere 11, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 or later, Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SDK or later, Microsoft IIS 5.0 or later, or AJAX Extensions version 1.0. When installing InfoMaker, the silent install includes a warning in the log file if the setup computer does not have a working copy of SQL Anywere 11.0. If SQL Anywhere 11.0 is not found, the demonstration databases and code examples are not installed for PowerBuilder or for InfoMaker.

You run the standard silent uninstall by double-clicking the silentuninstall.bat file in the main installation directory or running it from a command line.

Silent install and uninstall for the PBVM

If you are running the PBVM installation from the DOS command prompt, you can run the silent install using the following syntax:

silentinstall.bat [“asp=aspPathName“shr=sharedDirectoryName” “log=logFileName”]

The parameters can be listed in any order and are not case sensitive. Parameter values are also not case sensitive.

Silent install parameter	Description
aspPathName	Names the full path to the support files in the
	EAServer or PowerBuilder Application Server
	plug-in folder. If you omit this parameter, the default
	value is the EAServer or PowerBuilder Application
	Server plug-in folder. For example:
	sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\EAServer.
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.

The following example uses all three parameters for the PBVM silent install command:

silentinstall.bat "asp=D:\EAServer" "shr=D:\shared" "log=D:\install.log"
