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 the related topic on silent installation properties.
Important: 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.
Note: The installation for
Rational Rhapsody requires
that Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 already be installed. If it
is not installed and you want to install it as part of the silent
installation of
Rational Rhapsody,
you need to use setup.exe instead of using msiexec directly and the
.msi file for
Rational Rhapsody.
For example:
setup.exe /s /v"/qn <all the usual parameters passed to msiexec>"
