Using the Upgrade Installer in Silent Mode
BEA Products Installation Guide 5-11
To start the upgrade installer on this
platform . . .
Perform the following steps...
Windows 1. Open an MS-DOS command prompt window.
2. Go to the directory in which you downloaded the
installation program, and invoke the installation
procedure by entering the following command:
filename.exe -mode=silent
-silent_xml=path_to_silent_xml
Here filename.exe is the name of the upgrade installer you
downloaded from the BEA Customer Support Web site,
and path_to_silent.xml is the full pathname of the
silent.xml
template file.
Note: You can also include the
-log=full_path_to_log_file option in the
command line to create a verbose installation log. For
example:
platformXXX_upgrade_win32.exe
-mode=silent -silent_xml=C:\silent.xml
-log=C:\logs\platform_install.log
In this example, XXX represents the version number of
the software you are installing. For more information, see
Generating a Verbose Installation Log.
3. Proceed to step 5.
