Installing Rational Rhapsody silently on a Windows system

If you want to install the product on a Windows system as a background operation or silent installation, you must create a customized script to set the installation properties for your computer environment.

The customized script starts the .msi setup program for the product and installs IBM® Rational® Rhapsody® according to the properties you have set in your script.

Your Windows script first defines the product that you are installing. This example sets up the developer's edition for C and C++:

set RHAPSODY_ROOT=E:\Program Files\IBM\Rhapsody
set RHAPSODYEDITION=Development
set IS_LANG_C=1
set IS_LANG_CPP=1
See the list of possible properties and a short sample script in Silent installation properties.
Note: In addition to the property settings for the installation directory and system components, your script must set the LAPAGREE property to "Yes" to accept the IBM Rational software license agreement automatically. If it is not set to "Yes," the installation stops when it reaches this property.

To see a sample script for a silent installation, see the file in your <product installation path>\Samples\SilentInstallTemplate.
