user.language = no, will result in an error
Default Locale selection
If neither user.language nor user.country is defined in the install.properties file, the Installer will
select a default Locale:
1. If the System Locale is in the list of supported Locales, it will be selected.
2. Otherwise, if there is an entry in the list of supported Locales, which matches the System
language, it will be selected (e.g. on a fr-CA system, fr-FR is selected).
3. As last resort, the first Locale in the preinstall.ini is selected (usually that should be en-
US).
Getting the exit code of a silent installation
If getting the exit code of a silent installation is desirable, use the following procedure.
1. Create a new local folder on the machine (or VM) on which Connect shall be installed
and copy/extract the contents of the Connect ISO into this folder.
2. Open a command prompt with Administrator privileges and use the "cd" command to
access this local folder.
3. Run this command to unpack the contents of the Connect Setup executable (as a sample,
we use the PReS Connect brand):
PReS_Connect_Setup_x86_64.exe -nr -gm2 -InstallPath=".\\"
4. In the local folder, the repository subfolder should now be located next to the
preinstall.exe, installer.exe and other Installer files.
5. Create the install.properties file for silent installation in the local folder.
6. With a batch file calling preinstall.exe and then querying the %errorlevel%, silent
installation can be started and the exit code can be evaluated. See the sample batch file
below.
Exit codes
0 = Success
1 = General Error in preinstall (e.g. not supported settings for user.language / user.country, for
reason see preinstall_err.log)
2 = Unknown Error in preinstall
