CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
Installation Guide 21
Silent install and uninstall
You can install and uninstall PowerBuilder 11.5 and the PowerBuilder virtual
machine (PBVM) without displaying messages or windows during the setup or
removal process. However, you must accept the Sybase license agreement
before you can run the silent install file. You can indicate your acceptance by
typing the following line in a DOS command box before you type in the silent
install batch file command:
SET AgreeToSybaseLicense=true
If the DOS prompt does not display the PowerBuilder installation directory,
you must change to that directory.
• Use the main installation directory to install PowerBuilder and InfoMaker
•Use the PBVM directory to install the PowerBuilder virtual machine
Modifying the batch file directly
You can indicate your acceptance of the Sybase license agreement by directly
editing the silentinstall.bat file. You do this by changing the line in the batch
file that reads
set AgreeToSybaseLicense=false. You must change this
line to read
set AgreeToSybaseLicense=true. After you make this change,
you can double-click the silentinstall.bat file to run the install with default
selections rather than running it from a command line.
The file for PowerBuilder Enterprise is in the main installation directory on the
PowerBuilder DVD, and the file for the PBVM is in the PBVM directory.
You can use the DOS command line to provide help for silent install
parameters. The help is available by typing
Help or a question mark after
entering
silentinstall.bat on the command line.
Silent install and uninstall for PowerBuilder and InfoMaker
If you are running the installation from the DOS command box, you can run
the silent install using the following syntax:
silentinstall.bat [“lic=licPathNameOrServerName” “opt=product”
“dir=directoryName” “shr=sharedDirectoryName” “log=logFileName”]
