Silent install and uninstall for the PBVM

If you are running the PBVM installation from the DOS command prompt, you can run the silent install using the following syntax:

silentinstall.bat [“asp=aspPathName“shr=sharedDirectoryName” “log=logFileName”]

The parameters can be listed in any order and are not case sensitive. Parameter values are also not case sensitive.

Silent install parameter

Description

aspPathName

Names the full path to the support files in the EAServer or PowerBuilder Application Server plug-in folder. If you omit this parameter, the default value is the EAServer or PowerBuilder Application Server plug-in folder. For example:

sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\EAServer.

sharedDirectoryName

Indicates the shared directory for PowerBuilder or InfoMaker. If you omit this parameter, this directory installs to sysDriver\Program Files\Sybase\Shared.

logFileName

Names the log file for the installation. If you omit this parameter, the log file is written to the system Temp directory with the file name silentinstall.log.

The following example uses all three parameters for the PBVM silent install command:

silentinstall.bat "asp=D:\EAServer" 
"shr=D:\shared" "log=D:\install.log"

You run the PBVM silent uninstall by double-clicking the silentuninstall.bat file in the PBVM directory or running it from a command line.
