Response files
A response file is an XML file that contains data required to complete installation operations silently. Installation Manager uses response files to complete installation operations silently. We can record a response file by recording preferences and installation actions in Installation Manager in user interface mode. Alternatively, we can create a response file manually using the documented list of response file commands and preferences. We can use one response file to install, update, or uninstall multiple products. Using a response file, we can do almost any action that we can do using Installation Manager in wizard mode. For example, with a response file we can specify the location of the repository containing the package, the package to install, and the features to install for that package. We can also use a response file to modify installed packages, to apply updates, and to apply a license.
