Automatically generated response.ini file

An OpenEdge interactive installation automatically creates a response.ini file that contains the installation values you originally entered in fields on the dialog boxes. It is stored in your install subdirectory in your installation directory, OpenEdge-install-dir. The file is immediately available for you to play back to start a Silent installation.See Understanding the response.ini file contents for more information and an excerpt of the response.ini file.

User-initiated programmatic method

Provides Application Partners (APs) a streamlined approach to integrate the OpenEdge installer into an application installer. Using this method, an AP can access the automatically generated response.ini file to programmatically create an OpenEdge installation response file. When the AP's application is installed on a customer site, the OpenEdge installation information is read from the response file, enabling the customized install to be performed silently. For more information about this method, see Creating data input option.
