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
[ "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`	Specifies the name of the products to install. All Installs PowerBuilder IDE, PowerBuilder Runtime, PowerBuilder Compiler, PowerServer (PB Edition), PowerServer Toolkit, PowerServer Help, PowerServer Web Component, and SnapDevelop (including .NET DataStore and PowerScript Migrator). PB Installs only PowerBuilder IDE PBRT Installs only PowerBuilder Runtime PBC Installs only PowerBuilder Compiler PSM Installs only PowerServer (PB Edition) PST Installs only PowerServer Toolkit PSH Installs only PowerServer Help PSWC Installs only PowerServer Web Component SDEV Installs only SnapDevelop DWEXP Installs only .NET DataStore MIGR Installs only PowerScript Migrator Multiple products can be separated by a slash (“/”), for example, opt=PB/PBRT/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 2019 R3.
`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:appeonpb190" "log=D:appeoninstall.log"

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

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