You can create an installation script that will automatically install components without user intervention. You create a SETUP.ISS response file that captures settings. You then use that file to automatically install components.
You can use the response file on individual workstations or use ZENWorks to install on multiple workstations.
Go to the directory that contains the program that you want to install.
For example, go to CLIENT\SSO on the Novell Single Sign-on CD.
Enter [executable] /r /f1[drive]:[path][filename.iss]
The executable is the program that you want to install and create a response file for. The path is a directory that will contain the .ISS file. If you do not specify the f1 option, the .ISS file is placed in the WINDOWS directory (WINNT for Windows NT workstations).
For example, to create a response file for SETUP.EXE, enter the following:
setup.exe /r /f1c:\setiss\setup.iss
The .ISS file can have any filename, but it must have the .ISS extension.
NOTE: No space exists between f1 and the path.
To use the script, you run the executable from the directory where it is stored but point to the directory where the .ISS file is stored (for example, C:\SETISS) as well as to the filename.
For example, at the D:\CLIENT\SSO directory, enter:
setup.exe /s /f1c:\setiss\setup.iss
When the script has finished running, it creates a .LOG file. ResultCode=0 in the .LOG file indicates that the .ISS file installed the program successfully.
