- Powerbuilder V.11.5 Enterprise Edition Manual

Silent install and uninstall
22 PowerBuilder Enterprise
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.
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"
Silent install parameter Description
licPathNameOrServerName The full path to a valid license file with an LIC
