Install Vector Using a Response File (Windows)
You can use the Vector installer on Windows to create a
response file (see
Example Response File on Windows) to support an unattended (silent) installation of Vector.
To create a response file using the Vector Setup Wizard on Windows
1. From the root directory of the Vector distribution, execute the following command:
setup.exe /c
A message is displayed saying that the installer is running in response file mode.
2. Respond to the Setup Wizard dialogs to select the components and configuration settings for your Vector instance.
Note: The response file created must be in a directory that is globally readable, or the installation process will fail.
A response file can be opened with any text editor and modified manually if changes are required. For details on the parameters, see
Response File Parameters.
To install Vector for Windows using a response file
Issue the setup /r command from the root directory of the Vector distribution and pass the absolute path to the response file:
setup /r path/response_filename
Example setup /r command
C:\VectorVW350\cdimage\setup /r C:\VectorVW350\myresponsefile.rsp

Example Response File for Client Runtime for Windows
The following example response file includes all parameter options and their default values for a Client Runtime for Windows installation.
II_SYSTEM and II_INSTALLATION are required parameters. If either is missing, the installer exits silently. II_CHARSET, II_DATE_TYPE_ALIAS, II_TIMEZONE_NAME, II_TERMINAL, II_DATE_FORMAT, and II_MONEY_FORMAT, if not specified, use the defaults provided by the installer.
The II_SERVICE_START_*. parameters create a service that starts automatically and owned by the system. If not specified, the service must be started manually and is owned by the local user.
