OBIEE 1.1.1.7 upgrade -silent install

Hi All,
I am installing OBIEE 1.1.1.7 as an upgrade from version 1.1.1.6 I have upgraded weblogic to version 10.3.6 and used psa.sh to upgrade both schemas,
I am now trying to run config.sh as a silent install with a response file. I just cant get it to work in with Oracle linix 6.3 it doesnt recognise my paths to WL or Oracle_BI, can a response file be used with a linux installation? Ive tried adding both ' quotes and " around the locations hoping the installer would take them as one string but still no luck,
See response file

The problem still persists...

Problem solved,
The issue was, because i don't have any graphical user interface option, i need to run the patchset installer on silent mode with responsefile. On the responsefile, there is a FROM_LOCATION parameter. I set it to database's products.xml rather than setting patchset's products.xml. So when i reconfigured, the problem is solved.
Just an attention for those who followed up this thread.

Silent install of 10.1.0 (MUI) Reader and patches leaves teh previous Version in Add remove prog

Hello,
having major issues with a silent install to 3300 users.
I Have a vb script that runs in SCCM to install reader 10.1.0 (MUI) and the increnetal patches for 10.1.1 and 10.1.2 both MUI. I have created a transform to not use a desktop icon, turn on protect mode and supress the eula. 3 problems.
1. The script searches for old versions and completly install the mui version over all with the following command line:
"AcroRead.msi TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst PATCH="AdbeRdrUpd1011_MUI.msp; AdbeRdrUpd1012_MUI.msp" ALLUSERS=1 LANG_ID=1033 PRODUCTLANGUAGE=1033 LEAVE_PDFOWNERSHIP=YES REMOVE_PREVIOUS=YES EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES /qn /norestart /LOG c:\progra~1\Adobe\AdobeReader10.1.2.log"
Setup.ini file reads:

Problems on about 100 computers so far:
1. If the system had 10.1.1 and not the 10.1.1 MUI and 10.1.2 MUI stay in Add Remove Programs
2. Systems that get the full uninstall and reinstall even if adobe is closed and browser is closed and user can not read files from the web or email after the complete install to 10.1.2 mui. Adobe works locally.
3. Some systems appear to upgrade fine.
HELP PLEASE!!!!

With Administrative Installation Points I've always found it best to remove the old version first with a script using [msiexec.exe /x {APPLICATION_GUID} ] before installing the new AIP. You should read the documentation about 10.x AIP though.

Sequencing with silent install

When sequencing one could run through the GUI's of a setup. After that some adjustments are likely needed like deleting the uninstall/desktop shortcut and so on.
The other possibility is to use a silent setup as input for the sequencer. A lot off applications come with a vendor .MSI nowadays. This gives the opportunity to create a transform file which in many occasions can prevent the creation of uninstall/desktop shortcuts
and other customization's as needed.
Now, I'm writing guidelines on how external parties should deliver app-v packages to us. I stated that, if possible, they should deliver the command line of the silent setup used as input for the sequencer. However, they see this as the creation of two packages,
MSI/silent setup and App-V.
I wanted to check how other people work. Do they first create a silent setup and use that as input or do they launch the setup GUI and repeat what is documented in the manual installation document.
In my opinion the advantage of using a silent setup as input is that you can easily replicate a local install in case there is a problem with the appv package. It also customizes the setup during install so adjustments afterwards are not needed, resulting in
a somewhat cleaner package. The 3th advantage I see is that often you can reuse the .mst/command line when a new version is needed.
What are your thoughts on requesting a silent install from the sequencers?

What are your thoughts on requesting a silent install from the sequencers?
This is a perfect case of there is no wrong way to do it, but what you said above is very true. In fact, packaging software like Flexera Admin Studio encourage you to do it this way. They don't want you to think of a package as a single deployment
type, but rather however you want to deploy the software (MSI, App-V, etc).
The investment in time is likely the biggest hurdle. When you have to do something simple, creating an MSI/silent command first and then creating an App-V package is 2x the work. Its not a bad standard to go with though. And as Tibervis
said, it does come in handy if you need to perform an upgrade or otherwise need to start sequencing from scratch again. It is in my opinion 2 packages, just as it would be 2 packages to create an App-V 4 and App-V 5 package even if you used powershell
to convert the 4x package to 5. This gets very into your process though.
Just watch out you aren't making you own life 10x harder to protect yourself from something that only might happen a small percentage of the time. Keep in mind that there are also going to be deployments where the App-V package requires work the MSI
doesn't - a driver, a component that needs to be outside the bubble, etc. Having an MSI won't help you create the App-V in that case, and if you ask packagers to create an MSI, an App-V, and an App-V instruction guide (for packagers eyes only) you might
be shot on sight.

Adobe Reader X Silent Install

Hey everybody!
I have a program that silently installs Adobe Reader 9.4 and it works wonderfully, but when I upgrade it to install Adobe Reader X the commands I use to run it don't work properly. I get the Windows Installer help window pop up. Here's what I'm running for 9.4:
AdobeReaderInstallFile.exe /sAll /rs /l /msi "/qb-! /norestart ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES"
Does anybody know of the proper usage to get a true silent install for 10.0? Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Command Line Switches for the Bootstrap Web Installer for Reader are provided below:
/sAll Silent Mode for product
/sPB Silent Mode with Progress Bar for product
/rs Reboot Suppress
/rps Reboot Prompt Suppress
/ini "PATH" Alternative initialization file
/sl "LANG_ID" Set Language; LANG_ID - Code in decimal digits
/l Enable Error Logging. Log file Bootstrap.log will be generated in temp directory
/msi[Command line] Parameters for MSIEXEC
AdobeReaderInstallFile.exe /sAll /rs /l /msi "/qb-! /norestart ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES"
This command line has parameters for both silent install (/sAll) as well as progress bar mode (/qb) which is useless. Also /rs and /norestart work the same way supressing the reboot.
SUPPRESS_APP_LAUNCH=YES can also be removed as the checkbox for suppressing the application launch after install has been removed from the installer.
Moreover the quotes are not being recognised by the MSI Installer causing it to launch help window pop up.
So the command that can be used for silent install and suppressing EULA is:
AdbeRdr_1000_en_US.exe /sAll /msi /norestart ALLUSERS=1 EULA_ACCEPT=YES

CS3 Silent Install

I am trying to setup network deployment of CS3 in our office. We are about 60 users and the longest part of setting up a new user is CS 3 Install. I want to get this automated so I can run it as a script with my netinstall.
I have read through the adobe documentaiton which seems to have all the info in it. I have gone through all the steps and have manged to get it to run the install but it alway s errors out with End Adobe Setup. Exit code: 6. After that error then I am back to square one and every time I try rerun the install I get End Adobe Setup. Exit code: 7
I have had a browse around the internet and it seem quite a common problem, but all the info I can find relates to windows installs. It seems there is not much diffrance between the windows and mac side in terms of commands to run so I have got as far as I can now.
I have noticed that when i run the install I the installer creates a folder in my /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Installers/ this folder is a seems to be a reandom genrated number and in it, it dumps a setup.app file and some subfolders. It then goes onto to create a folder called /Library/Application Support/Adobe/Installers/R1 which it seem to either move or compile the data from the first folder into.
When this is done the script errors out. I have noticed that setup.app does not show up it's icon correctly and will not run. It's like the file has erred in the copying process.
Has any one had any luck with setting this up and have any ideas on how to fix my issue.
Thanks

TBH, the biggest problem you are going to face is not the initial installation but the running of all the software patches afterwards. With a disk image of the CS3 disks, install will complete in about 10-15 minutes. Upgrades OTOH may take up to an hour to complete (especially if you forget you're babysitting one) with numerous points where user intervention is required. Also, you need to run the upgrade check from within Adobe Acrobat or Acrobat won't get upgraded.
I had a long treatise on how to make a working CS3 silent install posted on here at one point, but it was apparently misplaced in the recent Forum Fiasco er, Upgrade... Luckily, I took a text clipping of it and saved it. Hopefully it is helpful...
BTW, another way to fix error code 7's... flush the contents of /Library/Applications Support/Adobe/Installers. I had a session in there that I apparently failed to delete correctly resulting in more error 7 misery.
Failing that, the only other way I have been successful in clearing inexplicable error 7's is to do an install using the GUI and then immediately uninstall, again using the GUI. Hopefully that will clear up any lingering weirdness.
And my final problem that caused the other 2-3 hours of failures? Somehow OS X had appended an invisible ".xml" to the end of my application.xml.override filename. (My own damn fault, didn't realize I hadn't disabled the damnable "hide extensions instead of deleting them" feature on this machine.)
FWIW, here's my full successful recipe (in my example I'm only installing IDCS3, btw):
# Create a folder called CS3 Install at the top level of your startup drive.
# Copy the entire "Applications" DVD into /CS3 Install/ -- it makes a folder called Adobe CS3 Design Premium with your installer goodies.
# Create a file in called /CS3 Install/install-idcs3-only.xml duplicated from the template in /CS3\ Install/Adobe\ CS3\ Design\ Premium/deployment/install.xml . Customize as necessary for your particular needs--since I only want IDCS3, I deleted everything except the Creative Suite and InDesign payloads from the list of installables in here.
# Create /CS3 Install/Adobe CS3 Design Premium/payloads/AdobeDesignSuitePremiumen_US_Volume/application.xml.override from the supplied template in the KB, normalizing all double-quotes, and inserting your serial number with no dashes.
# Make sure ALL web browsers and IM clients have been quit.
Finally, in Terminal, run:
sudo /CS3\ Install/Adobe\ CS3\ Design\ Premium/Setup.app/Contents/MacOS/Setup --mode=silent --deploymentFile="/CS3 Install/install-idcs3-only.xml"
which should exit with Error code 0 (ie, Successful install).

Packaging IE 9 in SCCM 2007 using silent install switches

Hello all
I am planning on packaging IE9 to be deployed to some of our test computers then to our production environment of about 564 nodes. My goal is to run it as a silent install, no user interface.I use the follow commands but the Install box still comes up (see
below). msiexec.exe /i "ie9-windows7-x64-enu.msi" /quiet
My other question is should I just push the upgraded IE9 with the next software updates patch cycle?
Thanks,
Phil
Phil Balderos

Hi Phil,
when you run through the IEAK wizard, you choose the user experience you want to have.
IEAK has the ability to output in MSIfile, or as setup.exe.
The MSIfile, is a dumb one, in that it merely unpacks the setup.exe and launches that.
When we packaged up IE9, we just used the setup.exe, and I selected silent+norestart and all that, inside the IEAK.
The setup.exe generated, includes the necessary parameters. I created a package/program in CM07 with just that.
Or, you can use: setup.exe /quiet /norestart
I've not found the MSI of any benefit at all, ever. (maybe if I was using GPSI or something that might be where I'd use it)

Problem with silent install of 11gR1 on Windows 2008

I'm doing a silent install of 11gR1 on Windows Server 2008. It works fine on Windows Server 2003. I have SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK set to false, yet it seems to be forcing it to true and then it fails the install because I have an invalid metalink username/password. In the install log I get this, as expected:
INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'false'. Received the value from response file.
but then I get this later on:
INFO: Setting the value of SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK to true
INFO: Setting variable 'SECURITY_UPDATES_VIA_METALINK' to 'true'. Received the value from a code block.
SEVERE: Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
INFO: User Selected: Yes/OK
Invalid MetaLink credentials. Specify the correct e-mail address and password that you use to log in to MetaLink.
Why is it forcing this to true? As I said, this same exact response file works fine with Server 2003. Any suggestions?
Oh, also, I've tried forcing the value to false on the command line and by not specifiying a value (because the default is supposedly false).
Thanks in advance

Silent install Weblogic 12.1.1 - Unable to locate product "WebLogic Server

Hi all,
I try to install Weblogic 12.1.1 via silent install. I work on Solaris 10, have already installed JDK 1.7.
here what happens:
root@usqwrts001:/tmp/karin# java -d64 -Xmx1024m -jar wls1211_generic.jar -mode=silent -silent_xml=/tmp/karin/silent.xml.long -log=./install.out

My silent.xml.long looks like this:
root@usqwrts001:/tmp/karin# less silent.xml.long
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<bea-installer>

<data-value name="LOCAL_JVMS" value="/opt/jdk1.7.0_11"/>
</input-fields>
</bea-installer>
I already tried it with simply <data-value name="COMPONENT_PATHS" value="WebLogic Server" /> instead of the whole bunch, but behaviour didn't change.
My environment settings:
root@usqwrts001:/tmp/karin# echo $JAVA_HOME
/opt/jdk1.7.0_11/bin/sparcv9/
root@usqwrts001:/tmp/karin# echo $PATH
/opt/jdk1.7.0_11/bin/sparcv9:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/platform/sun4v/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/opt/openssh/bin:/usr/openwin/bin
As there is no bin directory under sparcv9 (which contains the 64-Bit modules), i took sparcv9 again for the path (instead of taking $JAVA_HOME/bin as described in documentation) . But I also tried the bin directory (without sparcv9) with the same effect.
Has anybody an idea for me??
Thanks a lot in advance
Karin.

Looking at the log it is saying the following:

Please select another Middleware Home or contact Oracle Supportwhich means the select option 'WebLogic Server/WebLogic Web Server Plugins' is not a valid option (this is indeed the case as in WebLogic 12c there are no Plugins available, you can use the ones for WebLogic 10.3.6 though, but that is not the issue here).
After editing the weblogic-silent.xml to reflect the correct components, we have something like:

Unfortunately, the documentation (http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E24329_01/doc.1211/e24492/silent.htm#i1044116) says the option 'WebLogic Server/WebLogic Web Server Plugins' is available. When running the installation again the following is observed:

Should have posted this answer two days ago, but I thought to let you flounder a little (just kidding).

Auto / Silent install of Essbase 6.1.4.0 (Client)

Does anyone know/have the switch(es) for an auto or silent install (client side) for Excel Essbase Add-in version 6.1.4.0?Thank you,Blake

Hi,Install Shield has a silent option that allows to record the options that have to be selected by the user.You first have to launch the install with a record a setup.iss file by launcinh setup.exe /r (or -r)Then setup.exe /f1 with the location and name of the iss file will do the trick.Consult installshield.com knowldege base for more information (perform a search on setup.iss).Please be aware that depending on the OS the iss file may need to be different.EricPartake Consulting

Problems performing silent install of CR XI Rel 2

We are using the instructions from the installation guide to perform a silent install by running the command
setup.exe ADDLOCAL=ALL EXCLUDEDOTNETFILES=1 EXCLUDEJAVAFILES=1 EXCLUDERDCFILES=1 CLIENTLANGUAGE=EN REBOOT=ReallySuppress PIDKEY=(actualKey) INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Business Objects\Crystal Reports 11.5" /live c:\temp\cr_11.log /qn
The installation runs but fails at the end of the installation when attempting to put the shortcuts in the users or All users Start Menu with the error of MainEngineThread is returning 1603 (when under user ID) or MainEngineThread is returning 1604 (when under All Users). The installation is being run with an administrator access login ID, so access to either area should not be a problem.
The installation is on both Windows 2000 and XP pc's and the win32 directory of the msi installation files have been copied locally to the machine as part of the process to eliminate network lag.
Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get past this?

Check the readme and help files on how to.

How to handle "/9.2.0/root.sh as root from another window" in silent instal

Hi,
I was successful to start a silent installation of Oracle9iR2 using a responsefile on my System RHEL 3. But the installation ends soon and a wrong successful install message:
Error :*** Alert: A configuration script needs to be run as root before installation can proceed. Please leave this window up, go run /opt/app/oracle/product/9.2.0/root.sh as root from another window, then come back here and click OK to continue. ***
The installation of Oracle9i Database was successful.
I use -ignorePatchConflicts for ignoring the patch conflicts. But How do I handle these issues. Where I have to run root.sh ... etc in teh Non Interactive Install.
I am scripting solution for non interactive install and manual intervention to run these root.sh shell scripts at different points of install is not a good idea as it wont help me automate the install.
Please let me know if anyone has solved this problem with -silent install.
Thanks in advance.
Senthil

Thats me (OP) again:
I tried setting:
SHOW_ROOTSH_CONFIRMATION=false in the response file. But still no help. The installation exits at run root.sh prompt point. How I can effectively deal with it in a script?

Open File - Security Warning with Network-based Silent Install of CS4

I am attempting to run an enterprise deployment of CS4 Design Standard Edition onto a pool of WinXP Pro workstations. I placed all of the install files on a networked server running Windows 2003, and generated from there all of the requisite .xml files (install, uninstall, and override files). From this network share, I can successfully run a silent install.
HOWEVER. Multiple times (two or three) during the course of the silent install, I receive the same pop-up security warning from Windows XP (definitely an OS message, not anti-virus or other) that reads as follows:
Open File - Security Warning
Do you want to run this file?
Name: AIRApplicationRunner.exe
Publisher: Adobe Systems Incorporated
Type: Application
From: (server IP address)
I have tried excluding Adobe Air from the installation package, but I still receive the same security prompt. This is sufficiently a hassle to have to click through these prompts in a silent install. But more importantly I am unable to run the silent install as part of a logoff script because for all intents & purposes it is no longer a silent install (i.e. it requires user intervention). To top it off, I found when testing the logoff script the prompts are suppressed and the installation fails prior to the bulk of the installation (Photoshop, Illustrator, & InDesign).
I'm sure that I could run the install by copying all of the files to each local workstation, but again that would defeat the purpose of an easy, network-based install. In the past I was able to install CS3 in this fashion with no troubles, which of course did not include Adobe Air.
Can anybody offer a suggestion as to how to disable these security messages, or alternately, how to entirely exclude Adobe Air from the install package? I have found a VB script that is supposed to address the security warnings issue, but to run the script also requires the user to accept it at a security prompt.
Thanks in advance for any assistance!

I'm now able to deploy design suite premium cs4 successfully.
The issue for me was that the AirapplicationRunner installs some useless software. I worked around the issue with the Airapplicationrunner prompt by removing any apps that are installed using that method. By "removing" I mean marking that app as "donotinstall" in the deployment file. The apps I removed are these adobe codes for adobe media player, adobe.com, adobeair itself. The below is from my deploy.xml file used for the silent workflow:
donotinstall
donotinstall
donotinstall
If you mark those three adobe codes as "donotinstall" the prompt never appears and the real apps get installed just fine.

How can I do a silent install of Firefox 23 since the -ms switch doesn't work?

I have been able to do a silent install of all the previous versions of Firefox using the -ms switch. But when I use it on the new version, the user interface comes up and it never did that before. I have tried different silent switches but non of them worked.

Not the most experienced at this but are you using the stub installer, maybe you can try the classic installer and try again?
Hopefully this helps.
