Prepare an Unattended Installation on Windows

Unattended installation uses the ca-wa-installer.properties file to propagate the Web Agent installation set up to all Agents in your network. In this properties file, you define installation parameters, then copy the file and the Web Agent executable file to any web server in your network to run an unattended installation.

The ca-wa-installer.properties file is installed in the following location:

web_agent_home\install_config_info

The default parameters and paths in the file reflect the information you entered during the initial Web Agent installation.

To prepare for an unattended installation

1. Run an initial installation of the Web Agent.
2. Open the ca-wa-installer.properties file and modify the parameters in the file. The parameters are as follows:
   • USER_INSTALL_DIR--Specifies the installed location of the Web Agent. Enter the full path to the installation directory.
   • USER_SHORTCUTS--Specifies where the Web Agent Configuration Wizard shortcut should be installed. Enter the path to the desired location. (Windows only)
   • USER_REQUESTED_RESTART--Indicates whether the installation program should reboot a Windows machine if required. Set to YES to allow the reboot. (Windows only)
3. Save the file.
