GOAL:
How to set up a silent install for Progress 9.1D Service Pack 7 onward?
GOAL:
Is it possible to do a Silent Install with a Service Pack?
GOAL:
Can Service Packs be deployed silently without user intervention?
FACT(s) (Environment):
Progress 9.1D
Progress 9.1E
OpenEdge 10.x
UNIX
FIX:
Silent Installation functionality for Service Packs was introduced in Service Pack 7 for Progress 9.1D and is available in later versions.
Please follow these steps:
1. Create install.ini in your temporary install directory containing the following information:
[Service Pack]
# Where the install directory is located>
ProgressInstallDir=<path to your DLC directory>
# Forced overwrite of install.
ReInstall=<0 = normal, none force, 1 = force>
# Do Backup of current installation?
Backup=<0 = no backup, 1 = backup>
# Directory where backup of old installation is located
BackupDir=<Backup directory>
# Overwrite backup
BackupOverwrite=<0 = do not overwrite old backup, 1 = overwrite old backup>
2. Create log directory:
mkdir log
3. Use the -b and -l to run the silent install.
<path to unpacked proinst>/proinst -b install.ini -l log
4. Inspect log file to ensure everything went fine.
