Prior to proceeding with the following instructions, please ensure that your
system complies with the prerequisites detailed in the installation
requirements.
Unattended installation is possible only on Windows and Linux by running the
installer executable from command line and passing the -q parameter. The
installer executable is called
syncroSVNClient.exe
on Windows and
syncroSVNClient.sh
on Linux
In unattended mode the installer does not overwrite files with the same name
if a previous version of the application is installed in the same folder. The
-overwrite parameter added after -q forces overwriting these files.
If the installer is executed in silent (unattended) mode and -console is
passed as a second parameter after -q a console will be allocated on Windows
that displays the output of the installer. The command for running the installer
is in this case:
start /wait syncroSVNClient.exe
-q -console
By default an unattended installation applies the default settings of the
installer. If you want to install the application on a large number of computers
but you need to change the default values of some settings (like the install
folder on disk, whether a desktop icon or a quick launch shortcut are created,
the file associations created in the operating system, the name of the program
group on the Start menu, etc.) then you should use a special settings file which
specifies the new values for these settings. To generate the settings file you
have to run the installer in normal attended mode once on a test computer and
specify the exact options that you want for the unattended installation. When
the installation is completed a file called response.varfile
and containing your selected options is created
in the .install4j
subfolder of the
installation folder, by default
C:\Program Files\Syncro SVN Client
4.2\.install4j
on Windows. This is a one time process. After that for applying these
options on all the computers where an unattended installation is performed you
have to specify this file in the command line, for example copy the file in the
same location as the installer program and use the command:
- - on Windows:
syncroSVNClient.exe
-q -varfile response.varfile
- - on Linux:
syncroSVNClient.sh
-q -varfile response.varfile
