5.4.1 Starting the Installation Program in Silent Mode on Windows
To start the installation program in silent mode on a Windows system, follow these steps:
1. Log in to the Windows system.
2. Create a silent.xml file that defines the configuration settings normally entered
by a user during an interactive installation process, such as graphical-mode or console-mode installation. For information about creating a silent.xml file, see
Section 5.3, Creating a silent.xml File for Silent-Mode Installation.
3. Open a command prompt window.
4. Go to the directory that contains the installation program.
5. Start the installer.
For example, to launch the WebLogic Server Package installer on Windows 32-bit platforms, enter:
wls1035_win32.exe -mode=silent -silent_xml=path_to_silent.xml Here, path_to_silent.xml is the full path of the silent.xml file.
An Oracle Installer window is displayed, indicating that the files are being extracted. No other prompt or text is displayed.
For more information, see Chapter 5, Running the Installation Program in Silent
Mode.
5.4.2 Starting .bin Installation Programs in Silent Mode
When using a .bin installation file, follow these steps to start a silent-mode installation:
1.
Log in to the target UNIX system.
2.
Create a silent.xml file that defines the configuration settings normally entered by a user during an interactive installation process, such as graphical-mode or
console-mode installation. For information about creating a silent.xml file, see Section 5.3, Creating a silent.xml File for Silent-Mode Installation.
3.
Go to the directory that contains the installation program.
4.
Launch the installation program by entering the following commands: chmod a+x file_name.bin
.file_name.bin -mode=silent -silent_xml=path_to_silent.xml In this command, file_name.bin is the name of the installation file and path_
to_silent.xml is the full path of the silent.xml file.
Note: Incorrect entries in silent.xml can cause installation
failures. To help you determine the cause of a failure, Oracle recommends that you create a log file when you start the installation.
See Section 2.8, Generating a Verbose Installation Log.
