SIlent Installation (1.5) just copies files

I tried the silent installation as described in Silent Installation. But even after rebooting the client, it still shows and uses the old version. "java -version", Java control panel all, Windows installed software, ... all show just the old version, but the files of the new version are properly installed.
I noticed that a Java application was running on the client. So I retried by deleting the new JRE files, rebooting the client (still no sign of installation of the new version). And tried to rinstall the new version via remote silent installation. This time it canceled installation saying that it is already installed, but the client does not have anything of the new version - even not in the registry. ?

I saw that the installation was not done on the
client but on the server!!! When I think about it,
stating the client via setting the client network
path at INSTALLDIR= just copied the files on the
client, but the rest of the installation was done on
the server. I thougth this "silent installation" also
works for remote installations, like sayd in the same
doc:
It is intended for:
system administrators who want to deploy Java Plug-in
and the JRE on multiple PCs in the Intranet
environment without user interaction
LOL. I can see how someone could misunderstand. When a "system administrators" installs applications he uses specialized tools that allows him/her to remotely run those install program on those clients. It wouldn't do him much good if 1000 or so remotely run installs all had GUI interfaces. He just wants something that just runs without a GUI, installs and then quits. That is what "silent installation" does for a "system administrator".

    I tried the following:
    -Rename WMS.exe to WMS.exe.old to make sure it will not get installed.
    -Create an application for CDO and put that application as a pre requisite for Groupwise.
    In my task sequence, before groupwise is being installed, the CDO component will get installed first.
    In my latest test, the installation of groupwise failed with the same error message then before.
    For the installation step, I am using this command line: "WIN32\setup.exe" /s /V"/qn /le C:\Groupwise.log"
    The task sequence will download the files into is cache then start the install appending the path to the exe file to the command line. All the files are present in the cache folder.
    The VCRedist 2005 is installed prior to the installation by another software but I did made some test that let Groupwise installed is own VCRedist. Still an error message.
    The exact error message is: Error 1904.Module C:\Program Files (x86)\Novell\Groupwise\gwab1.ocx failed to register. HRESULT -2147010895. Contact your support personnel.
    I am deploying Groupwise during a task sequence on Windows 7 SP1 with IE9 and .Net 4.0 installed with some update. At the moment groupwise is installed as the second software.
    The version being installed is gw8.0.3HP3_client_win_multi.
    When installing the previous version, using the same exact task sequence, there is no error and the installation is done.
    I did validate that the Windows NT Messaging was not installed.
    If I can provide any othe information please let me know.

  • Uninstall Labview after Silently installation

    I installed Labview 7.1 using the silently installation and I need to do an uninstall like this (Using a .BAT file), for the Silently installation I used the Spec files attached.
    In order to have a complete custom installation I also had to run separate the device drivers setup with its own spec file.
    I already tried to uninstall using this same spec files changing for each feature to = Absent (This is suppose to remove if installed) but it doesn't completely uninstall. The Data Socket and the NI Spy remain.
    Thank you in advance
    Attachments:
    LVspec.txt ‏1 KB

    Hello EJPEREZ,
    After further investigation, it appears that DataSocket is still present on the system because the LabVIEW Runtime Engine is still installed. To verify this, open the control panel, double-click on add/remove programs, select National Instruments Software, click on change and you will see a list of National Instruments Software that is installed on the computer. You can use this method to find out which NI Software product is leaving NI Spy on your computer as well.
    Uninstalling the LabVIEW Runtime Engine will remove DataSocket from your computer. The way to do this from the command line is to use msiexec and the LabVIEW Runtime Engine MSI file. The command will look something like "path:\>msiexec /quiet /uninstall lvruntimeeng.msi" depending on your preferences and file locations. MSIexec is a Microsoft Windows utility and you can get more information about it on there website (http://www.microsoft.com). If you need more information about the commmand line parameters for msiexec, just type in "msiexec" in the command line and hit the "enter" key. The LabVIEW Runtime Engine msi can be found on your installation cd in the "components\lvruntimeeng\" folder.
    Make sure you run this command AFTER you do the core uninstallation using the "setup.exe LVspect.txt /q" operation. Then you can use msiexec to uninstall the program that is leaving NI Spy on your computer.
    I hope this helps,

  • Silent installation of sapinst

    Hi,
    I want to run sapinst.exe in <b>silent mode</b> in multiple platforms.
    1. How sapinst <b>exports its API</b>?
    2. What is the significance of scripts written in <i>control.xml</i>? How sapinst call them?
    3. Where i need to put the values, to make the installation <b>automatic</b>?
    4. Is there any command-line parameters needed to make it silent?
    Thanks,
    Sooraj

    Hi Sooraj,
    We tried to do the same thing about a half a year ago at a customer and were told that SAP do not support silent installations.
    To my knowledge sapinst is incapable of running silent installations. The control.xml file is not intended for this purpose either.
    You might want to have a look at the rapid installer, which appears to be capable of handling SAP installations as well.
    Good luck,
    Steven.

  • Silent Installs using spec files

    I want to deploy LV 8.2, CVI, Signal Express, and the toolkits.  Can't use AD Group Policies because the NI MSI files are not true MSI files.
    I have worked out a batch file to silently install however in the spec files I put in the userinfo section the following:
    [UserInfo]
    Name=John Doe
    Company=ACME Inc..
    SerialNo=99999999
    Since I have to deploy this to several people as well as serveral debug machines how do I handle the different user information?  On something like a silent install of MS Office you can leave this information blank and it will prompt you for the registration on the first run.  Is there something similar in LV or do I have to create spec files for every user?

    Here is the batch file for installing LV 8.2, CVI, Toolkits, and Drivers (ignore the hyperlink format).  Notice that some of these don't use spec files as command line parameters and some do.  There are three different sets of command line switches for these items as well.  Some of the toolkits just don't install silently.  This one developers suite uses 4 different methods of installation.
    I really don't think that an easy install is to much to ask for a program that costs $4000 per seat and $1000 per year.
    (BTW, in this version of the bat file I used /passive so I can see what is causing some issues, normally it would be /quiet)

  • Macbook Pro won't let me move files to HD without authentication. Also when I try to move files from the HD to the desk it just copies them.

    My 2013 Macbook Pro running Mavericks 10.9.5 won't let me move files to the HD without authentication. So I have to keep putting my password in. Also when I try to move files from the HD to the desk it just copies them. This just suddenly happened last night. Anyone have any ideas what it could be? Thanks

  • Oracle 9i Release 2 silent installation

    Has anyone tested Oracle 9i Release 2 silent installation ?
    I'm using the "Oracle Embedded Installation Resource Kit" to setup a silent installation, but I can't move even a step further. I'm starting the installation by activating the command file runSilentInstall.cmd , but happens simply nothing ???!!! Only the response file is being created in the TEMP directory, and nothing more.
    In the resource kit stays that it has been tested with "9.0.1 Enterprise Edition
    and Standard Edition on Windows (NT/Win2K) and the Solaris platform. However, the
    resource kit should be able to install Oracle9i 9.x on any platform."
    Dimce

    I've just found out, that if I use setup.exe from the Oracle installation CDs (Disk1\install\win32\setup.exe) then the installation starts (and goes on) well. But if I use the setup.exe copied in my stage directory (from where I start the installation) it doesn't.
    It's the one and same file in both places.
    Any comments ?

  • Jre-1_5_0_09 silent installation on SunOS 5.8, Solaris 8

    HI
    I tried to preform a silent installation of jre-1_5_0_09 on SunOS 5.8 machine with Solaris 8, in several ways and I ran into the following problems:
    1.)Creating the Installation Configuration File:
    ./jre-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparc.sh -savestate installLog
    Using the Installation Configuration File to Install in Silent Mode:
    ./jre-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparc.sh -silent installLog
    the configuration file doesn't seems to be created, and even after creating it manually it does'nt triggers the silent mode.
    2.)./jre-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparc.sh -silent -is:log installLog
    same as above.
    If anyone has any suggestion it will be very helpfully
    thanks

    Hi,
    I might be 2 years too late but it's more for anyone else who bumps into this forum on their search for this answer (like I did).
    Just create a file containing the word "yes" and then run directing the file to stdin and then stdout to a file.
    Or simply:
    $ echo "yes" >install.script
    $./jdk-1_5_0_09-solaris-sparc.sh <install.script >/tmp/install.log

  • Urgent: How to do the Silent Installation for J2RE v1.4.1

    Hi guyz,
    Can anyone tell me How to perform Silent Installation of J2RE v 1.4.1.
    I checked out with J2RE V 1.4.2 which supports Silent mode installation but not JRE 1.4.1
    thanks in advance,
    Saurabh Bhatnagar

    Hi People,
    Just found out a site which has information on Silent Installation of JRE 1.4.1 ... but its not a straight fwd one. You need to run the installer atleat once to create a response file which will ecord your actions and you can use it in later installs for a silent installation.
    The article says about Slent installation in JRE 1.3 but I just check it ... and it works perfectly with JRE 1.4.1 also.
    Here's the link
    http://java.sun.com/products/plugin/1.3/docs/silent.html
    Hope it might of help to some of you ......
    regards,

  • Adobe Air installation status issue via silent installation

    I installed adobe air silently, then installed an adobe air applicaiton silently.  Everything works, and I can launch the application.  However, if I use the status check via air.swf file it has the "available but not installed" and it can't retrieve the version of my air application.  Once I double click on "any" .air file, it launches the non-silent installer, and I don't have to even install or update the app, just lanching the iapp nstaller non-silently seemed to correct something.  From then on air.swf statu now returns "installed" and it can read the version of my app.  Can anyone tell me what's going on and how can I correct this?

    Ok, I understand.  So before we continue, we really need to figure out what the exact error is.  Can you, on at least 2 systems, generate the MSI logs we'll need?  Here's a document that explains how to enable logging and where to find the logs once they've been created:
    How to enable Windows logging
    Once you've enabled logging, try installing again.  Grab the newly created msi logs and either post here or email me at [email protected]  I'll examine the logs and see if we can find a common issue between the systems.
    Thanks,

  • Client 11g silent installation guidance

    Hello everyone,
    I am just starting my journey into the world of Oracle. Typically it has not been a smooth start hence my post here.
    I have been asked to arrange a silent install of the 11g Client (v11.1.0.6.21 specifically) onto a Windows XP machine. I diligently did some reading on the net as there is zero documentation or install media here - just the installation files. I managed to create a response file using "setup.exe -record -destinationFile newbie.rsp", modified some minor settings and tried to:
         setup.exe -silent -noconfig -nowait -responsefile "c:\newbie.rsp"
    Unfortunately I just cannot get the text-based "Oracle Universal Installer" window to hide during the install, regardless of what I put in the response file. So I am not doing very well on the "silent install" front.
    Then I found this thread:     Oracle Client 11g Release 2 silent installation.
    However the installer I have doesn't seem to have the "save the current session as a record file" option.
    So, would someone be kind enough to point me in the direction of some up to date doco I can read please? I am keen to learn all about this but I just can't seem to find a place to start.
    Any suggestions are greatly received and appreciated.
    Best regards,
    Troy

    Thanks for the swift response Ansiktet!
    +>>There is an default response file provided in the installation directory,+
    Great. The only file & folder structure I have starts from:
         \install
              \access\...
              \images\...
              \reource\....
              access_setup.bat
              addLangs.bat
              oraparam.ini
              oui.exe
              unzip.exe
         \stage
              \Actions\...
              \Components\...
              \Queries

              invDetails.properties
              products.xml
              shiphomeinfo.properties
              shiphomeproperties.xml
         setup.exe
    I have had a look through and can't find a sample response file. Does this file & folder structure match what you were expecting I should have? And if so, where might I find the sample please?
    +>> you can make it easy for you and just edit this one, its quite self-explaining.+
    I found a few examples on the net and the "-record" option generated a very nice one for me to start from.
    The problem is, regardless of what I put in, the OUI command-line style window always seems to be displayed.
    I have put in lines such as:
         FROM_LOCATION="\\Software\Apps\Third party\Oracle\Client 11g\stage\products.xml"
         ACCEPT_LICENSE_AGREEMENT=true
         SHOW_SPLASH_SCREEN=false
         SHOW_WELCOME_PAGE=false
         SHOW_RELEASE_NOTES=false
         SHOW_SUMMARY_PAGE=false
         SHOW_CUSTOM_TREE_PAGE=false
         SHOW_COMPONENT_LOCATIONS_PAGE=false
         SHOW_INSTALL_PROGRESS_PAGE=false
         SHOW_REQUIRED_CONFIG_TOOL_PAGE=false
         SHOW_CONFIG_TOOL_PAGE=false
    +>> Then you run it with the same command you used before.+
    The comment in the other thread implied this method has been superceeded. Are you familiar with the newer method and where I might find some doco on it (to educate myself)?
    Thanks again,

    Hi Mike,
    did you install all required rpm's? You could check this with my open source project which is also using silent installation method. Furthermore also ASM setup is included. ;)
