Client Tools Silent Installations

Two methods are available for running BusinessObjects Enterprise Client Tools installations directly from the command line:

Both methods can be used to automate installations across multiple computers. The scripted installation method requires that you to specify an .ini file. The silent installation allows you to specify parameters for running setup.exe. The same parameters are used for both methods. It is recommended that you use the scripted installation method to run custom installations, so that you avoid having to pass a large number of parameter settings directly through the command line. These installation methods are particularly useful when you need to quickly perform multiple installations. You can also integrate the scripts and commands into your own installation scripts.

Note: If you pass a parameter directly in the command line, the setting will override any setting specified in the .ini file.
