User Guide
Installing Silently
You can install MapMarker USA 25 without using a graphical interface and without user interaction.
This allows you to install MapMarker in environments that do not provide a graphical user interface.
To do a silent install, use the properties file located in the root folder on the DVD. The file is named:
silentinstall.properties
This file defines the values for the installer to use when installing in silent mode.
You must edit the file to suit your particular needs. This file includes extensive comments to assist
you in this process. After editing this file, you can then launch the silent install and pass this
properties file to the installer program.
To edit the silentinstall.properties file:
1. Copy the silentinstall.properties template file to a location on the target machine and open the file
in a text editor.
2. In the properties file, specify information for the install properties and set the software and data
features that you want to install. The file contains instructions for changing each of the values.
You must specify the following:
• Licence File (LICENSE_FILE=)
• Install location of the application files and data
• Java Virtual Machine
• Shortcuts/links location
• Features to install
• Web Application configuration
• Desktop Application configuration
3. To launch the silent install, use the following command line arguments:
On Unix/Linux (where /media is the location of the installation media and /tmp is the location of
the silentinstall.properties file).
/
media /startinstall.sh -f / tmp /silentinsall.properties
On Windows operating systems (where D: is the drive location of the installation media and
C:\tmp is the location of the silentinstall.properties file).
start /w D:\instdata\windows\install.exe -f C:\tmp\silentinstall.properties
L
You must use an absolute path for the properties file.
