Silent Install Commands

This topic describes the
silentinstall command syntax for PowerBuilder.

To run the silent installation from a Windows Command
Prompt, run this command in the installation package
(silentinstall.bat for Universal Edition,
silentInstall_st.bat for Standalone Edition):

silentinstall.bat
[ "opt=product" "dir=directoryName" "shr=sharedDirectoryName" "log=logFileName" ]
[ { help | /? } ]

silentinstall.bat

[ "opt=product" "dir=directoryName" "shr=sharedDirectoryName" "log=logFileName" ]

[ { help | /? } ]

The parameters can be listed in any order and are not case sensitive.
Parameter values are also not case sensitive.

Silent installation parameter	Description
`opt`	Names the product or products to install. This parameter is optional to the PowerBuilder Standalone Edition. For the PowerBuilder Universal Edition, values are: All Installs PowerBuilder, PowerServer (PB Edition), PowerServer Toolkit, PowerServer Help, & PowerServer Web Component PB Installs only PowerBuilder PSM Installs only PowerServer (PB Edition) PST Installs only PowerServer Toolkit PSH Installs only PowerServer Help PSWC Installs only PowerServer Web Component Multiple products can be separated by a slash (“/”), for example, opt=PB/PSM/PST.
`dir`	Indicates the main installation directory. If you omit this parameter, silentinstall installs the product to the `sysDriver`Program FilesAppeon`productName` directory, where `sysDriver` is the main computer drive, and `productName` is PowerBuilder 2017 R3.
`shr`	Indicates the shared directory for PowerBuilder. If you omit this parameter, this directory installs to `sysDriver`Program FilesAppeonShared.
`log`	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.
`help` or `/?`	Displays command syntax and parameters instead of running the command.

The following example uses all parameters for the silent installation
command:

silentinstall.bat "opt=pb" "dir=D:appeonpb170" "shr=D:appeonshared" "log=D:appeoninstall.log"

When installing PowerBuilder, the silent installation
writes warnings to its log file if the setup computer does not have the
correct version any of these items:

SQL Anywhere
Microsoft .NET Framework
Microsoft .NET Framework SDK
Microsoft IIS
