Unattended installation

Use the unattended installation to install the SDK or JRE on multiple clients.

To create an unattended installation, you must first complete an attended installation and create a response file (setup.iss) that records the choices you made during installation. The response file you create must be correct for the computers on which you plan to use it. If necessary, create several response files to use for installing the packages on computers that have different configurations.

To create a response file while running the installation, at a command prompt type: 

ibm-java-sdk-70-win-<arch> /r
or 
ibm-java-jre-70-win-<arch> /r
where <arch> is either i386 or x86_64, depending on the architecture of your system.

Depending on your Windows product, a response file (setup.iss) is created in either the C:\Windows or C:\Winnt directory.

The following message might occur during an interactive installation: 

Another Java Runtime Environment is currently installed as the System JVM. Select Yes to overwrite this version or No to exit this installation.

If this message is displayed, click No and exit from the installation. Go to the Windows system directory and delete the following two files:

After you have deleted the files, restart the interactive installation using the command shown at the beginning of this section.

On the system on which you will run the unattended installation, copy the setup.iss response file to the C:\Windows directory. After you have copied the file, at a command prompt type: 

ibm-java-sdk-70-win-<arch> /s /f1c:\Windows\setup.iss /f2c:\setup.log
ibm-java-jre-70-win-<arch> /s /f1c:\Windows\setup.iss /f2c:\setup.log
where <arch> is either i386 or x86_64, depending on the architecture of your system.

Note:

  1. There are no spaces after /f1 or /f2.
  2. The /f1 flag specifies the name and location of the response file. The /f2 flag specifies the name and location of the log file.

If the installation is successful, the log file contains the string ResultCode=0. If the installation is not successful, the log file will contain a different result code.
