|
<div><p>Create a response file that contains a record of your responses
|
|
to prompts during an installation. You can then use this response file to
|
|
control duplicate installations that do not require any user interaction.</p>
|
|
<p>Silent installation eliminates the need for any user interaction during
|
|
the iSeries™ Access
|
|
for Windows<sup>®</sup> set
|
|
up process. A response file provides all installation information so that
|
|
no dialog boxes display while installing iSeries Access for Windows. </p>
|
|
<p>The response file contains the installation options that the system would
|
|
normally prompt you for during the installation process.</p>
|
|
<div class="section"><h4 class="sectiontitle">Silent install indicator</h4><p>Silent install has a progress
|
|
indicator. The Silent Install Indicator is an icon in the task tray which
|
|
will appear when a silent install is launched, and remain in the task tray
|
|
as long as the install is executing. Passing the mouse over the icon will
|
|
cause the Silent Install Indicator to display the percent of the install that
|
|
is complete. The Silent Install Indicator can also be expanded to expose more
|
|
information. When the install completes successfully, the icon will disappear
|
|
from the task tray. If the install were to fail, the icon will remain and
|
|
a small red triangle will appear on the icon to indicate the failure. Click
|
|
on the red triangle to see the failure message.</p>
|
|
<div class="note"><span class="notetitle">Notes:</span> <ol><li>If the Silent Install Indicator displays a given percentage of completion
|
|
longer than you would expect, you might want to check the log file for errors.</li>
|
|
<li>Often the best way to debug a silent install failure is to start the install
|
|
in non-silent mode on the user PC, and see if there are any unexpected dialogs
|
|
that appear prior to the Component Confirmation panel. Most silent install
|
|
failures occur due to unexpected dialogs that appear prior to actual component
|
|
installation file transfers.</li>

that commonly arise during the installation process.</p>

the problems you are encountering are not related to silent mode.</td>
