Return codes for silent installations

 

To determine whether your silent installation was successful, look at the return codes in the log file. You specified the name and location of the log file when you started the silent installation.

If you receive a return code of 0, the installation was successful. If the return code was not 0, take any action necessary to resolve the problem. You can see additional information about failures in silent.txt in the target directory or in cwbsilent.txt in the windows directory (Windows® or Winnt), if the target directory is not yet set.
