- Powerbuilder V.11.5 Enterprise Edition Manual

CHAPTER 1 Installing PowerBuilder Enterprise
Installation Guide 23
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.
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"
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.
