Creating a response file for client installation

A response file is used with msiexec on a client. We can create it in three ways.


A response file is used with the msiexec command. For further information, see Use a response file with msiexec.


Procedure

There are three ways to create a response file for installation:

  • Copy and edit the file Response.ini that is supplied on the IBM MQ Windows Server DVD, using an ASCII file editor.
  • Create your own response file using an ASCII file editor.
  • Use the msiexec command with the SAVEINI (and optionally, the ONLYINI ) command line parameters to generate a response file that contains the same installation options. See Table 1.


Example

A typical example of using msiexec with the SAVEINI parameter is here: 
msiexec /i "path\IBM MQ.msi" /q SAVEINI="response_file"
TRANSFORMS="1033.mst" AGREETOLICENSE="yes"
