Installation manual

When you install in silent mode, there is no indication that installation is in
progress or that it is complete.
To record a response file:
setup.exe -r -f1d:\temp\server1.iss
To install in silent mode:
setup.exe -s -f1d:\temp\server1.iss -f2d:\temp\server1.log
Options supported in silent mode
-r Records a response file
-s Runs a response file and installs Host
On-Demand
-f1[path\response_file_name].iss Defines the response file, in both record and
run modes. The path and filename must be 43
characters or fewer. There must not be a space
between parameter and value. The filename
extension must be iss .
-f2[path\log_file_name] Defines the log file and can be used in run
mode to create a file that contains a history of
an installation. The path and filename must
be 43 characters or fewer. There must not be a
space between parameter and value.
The target system’s configuration must be the same as that of the source system
(the system on which the response file was created). For example, if the source
system has a previous installation of Host On-Demand 6.0, the target system must
have the same. If the source system installed Host On-Demand on the D drive, the
target system must also have a D drive. The source and target systems must have
the same number of Web servers, although they do not need to be the same types.
