Installing the Server with a Silent Installer

The silent install process for the server allows you to preconfigure the server installation process so that it runs without user intervention

To configure a silent install, you specify settings for installer options,such as the installation location and which modules to install, in a properties file, which the installer refers to instead prompting the user.

  1. In the Spectrum Technology Platform installer, go to the folder SilentInstaller.
  2. Open the file installer.properties in a text editor.
  3. Edit installer.properties as necessary to specify the installation settings you want to use. See the comments in installer.properties for additional information.
  4. To run the installer in silent mode, place installer.properties in the same directory as install.exe. When the installer runs it will detect installer.properties and automatically run in silent mode.

    Alternatively, you can place installer.properties in different directory and give the absolute path to the property in the command prompt using the -f argument, as follows:

    install.exe -f PathOfPropertyFile\installer.properties
