Creating a Response File Using a Text Editor

Generating a response file with the GUI installer is the preferred method for creating a response file. However, you can use the following template to create a response file with a text editor.
#License Agreement
#-----------------
ACCEPT_LICENSE_AGREEMENT=true

#Choose Install Folder
#---------------------
USER_INSTALL_DIR=install_dir

#Install Type
#------------
LICENSED=1

#User Details
#------------
SERIALNUMBER=xxxxxxx

#IPE Key or Control Number
#-------------------------
KEYLIST=yyyyyyy
where:
true
indicates that the license agreement has been accepted
install_dir
specifies your product installation directory.
Note: If coding a path on Windows to an installation directory using the Universal Naming Convention (UNC), you must escape the double backslash (\\) and the single backslash with a Java escape character. For example: \\\\server1\\Progress\\DataDirect\\JDBC_60.
1
indicates you are installing a licensed copy of the driver(s).
xxxxxxx
is your product serial number.
yyyyyyy
is your IPE key (also known as the Control Number). If specifying multiple keys, separate them using a space, for example, KEYLIST=3333333 5555555 7777777.
See Performing the Silent Installation for instructions on running the response file.
Windows Example:
##
ACCEPT_LICENSE_AGREEMENT=true
USER_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\Program Files\\Progress\\DataDirect\\JDBC_60
LICENSED=1
SERIALNUMBER=1234567
KEYLIST=xxxkey1 xxxkey2 xxxkey3
UNIX/Linux Example:
##
ACCEPT_LICENSE_AGREEMENT=true
USER_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/Progress/DataDirect/JDBC_60
LICENSED=1
SERIALNUMBER=1234567
KEYLIST=xxxkey1 xxxkey2 xxxkey3
