1. Download the product zip file from the location provided by Progress DataDirect when you purchased the software.
2. Unzip the file to a temporary directory, for example:
C:\TEMP
3. At a command prompt, change to the temporary directory containing the installer program. For example, PROGRESS_DATADIRECT_ODBC_8.0_WIN_32_INSTALL.exe is the installer program for the 8.0 version of the product for 32-bit platforms.
4. Type the command:
installer_filename.exe –f response_file -i silent
where:
installer_filename
is the name of the installer program.
response_file
is the path and file name of the response file created in "Creating a Response File Using the GUI" or Creating a Response File Using a Text Editor." You must specify an absolute path.
The following example performs a silent installation by running a response file named installer.properties, which is located in the C:\temp directory:
The installation proceeds without any further user intervention or notification.
Refer to the installation log file for a record of any problems that may have occurred during the installation. See The Silent Installation Log File for details.
