Silent Installations

The 12d Solutions Installer is capable of performing silent installations, which may assist in automatic rollouts of upgrades.

1.1 Generating an Answers File

To perform a silent installation, you will need to generate an answers file.

To do so, provide the following argument:

-o PathToAnswersFile

For example:

12dSynergy_Server_Upgrade_x86.exe –o c:\temp\answers.txt

When the installation is completed, an answers file will be generated for use time.

1.2 Performing a Silent Installation

To perform a silent installation, specify the following arguments on the command line:

-gm2 –m silent –a PathToAnswersFile

If you would like to also automatically uninstall the product first, use these arguments

-gm2 –m silent –u –a PathToAnswersFile

For example:

12dSynergy_Server_Upgrade_x86.exe –gm2 –m silent –u –a c:\temp\answers.txt
