To silently install the Infor BW software

To perform a silent installation or upgrade of Infor BW, use the command line interface of the Infor BW setup program. The following gives a description of this command line interface.

Synopsis

setup [/s [/u [environment]] [/d <directory>]]

Description

This command will install Infor BW on the system. When no options are given, the setup tool will communicate with the user through Windows dialogs.

The /s option can be used to allow the setup to be performed in silent mode. In silent mode, the setup tool will not show any dialogs, progress bars, or failure messages.

The /u option can be used to ask the setup program to replace an existing Infor BW installation when an Infor BW version was already installed. When no Infor BW version was installed on the system, this option is ignored. If the /s option is specified without the /u option, and there is already one or more Infor BW versions on the system installed, the setup will exit with an error code.

The /d <directory> option can be used to instruct the setup program to install a new version of Infor BW in the indicated directory. This option can only be used when no Infor BW version is already installed on the system.
