Installing Syniti Replicate from a Windows Command Line

Prev Next

You can silently install Syniti Replicate from a Windows command prompt using the syntax described below. This approach enables you to run the setup without opening any of the install dialogs.

C:\Temp\setup.exe /s /z"LicenseKeyPath" /f1"AnswerFilePath"

where:

C:\Temp\setup.exe

The location of the Syniti Replicate setup.exe file

/s  

The option that runs setup without dialogs

/z"LicenseKeyPath"

The Syniti Replicate license file name (including the path)

Example:  /z"C:\Temp\synitidrlicense MYCOMPANY.txt"

/f1"AnswerFilePath"

The name of the answer file needed to run the silent installation (including the path)

The answer file is distributed with the setup.exe file and differs depending on whether a new installation (setup.iss) or an upgrade installation (setupUpgrade.iss) is being performed.

Examples:

/f1"C:\Temp\setup.iss" for CLEAN INSTALLATION

/f1"C:\Temp\setupUpgrade.iss" for UPGRADES

By default, after installation, a response file is created in the directory where the setup was run. The default response file name is SETUP.LOG.

Installation is successful when the response file contains the following:

[ResponseResult]

ResultCode=0

For any error that occurs during installation, the response file contains the following. If an error occurs, Syniti Replicate is not installed.

[ResponseResult]

ResultCode=-3

To create the response file in a different folder or with a different name, use the option /f2 to specify a path and file name:

C:\Temp\setup.exe /s /z"LicenseKeyPath" /f1"AnswerFilePath" /f2"C:\setup.log"
