Posted on by 80

I would like to know if there is an unattended installation procedure for the SL 2011 client.

    David, I tried as you instructed but not working for me yet because it requires the local mapped network drive. Also admin rights needs to execute the setup.

    I mapped the network share drive when logging as normal user. When attempt run setup to create iss file, it asked for the local admin password so I entered the admin password. When I reached the "Choose Destination Location" screen I can browse that mapped drive because setup is now running as admin and drive was mapped as regular user. I just want to find the way so this can be silently installed for the end users who do not have admin right. If you can, please advise.

    Thanks

    1) Create the following folders (Assuming \SL is the root of SL folder)

    \SL\SlientInstall

    \SL\SlientInstall\InstallLog

    2) Create the InstallShield Response File. (ex. setupSL.iss) Check the following website.

    Creating InstallShield Response Files

    publib.boulder.ibm.com/.../instgu25.htm

    3) Put the response file (setupSL.iss) in \SL\SlientInstall folder.

    4) Create the bat file (ex. Install_SLClient.bat) with the following content and put it in \SL\SlientInstall folder.

    ..\WRKSTN\Setup.exe /s /f1"%CD%\setupSL.iss" /f2"%CD%\InstallLog\setupSL_%COMPUTERNAME%.log"

    5) Run tha batch file Install_SLClient.bat

    You might want to include the batch file in the network login script to install the PetroComp client automatically.

    There is documentation in the SP2 Installation Guide on how to install the SP in silent mode.  It is my understanding (though I haven't tried it personally) that the same process may work for the client install (but not the program files install).  No guarantees....
