process if it has already started to copy files.
To install
from the command line:

a network drive, connect to the drive.
- Issue the following command: d:/ctg/Windows/installer
-i console where d: is
the DVD or network drive that contains the installation files.

in a response file; no user input is required.
To perform an
unattended install using a response file:
- Create a response file in one of the following ways:
- Use the supplied sample file installResponseSamp.txt.
- You can create a response file using the -r option, this option
creates a file in the current working directory called installer.properties.
To generate a response file issue the command installer.exe
-r.
- Make the response file and the installation image available to
the computer on which you are installing CICS Transaction Gateway.
- Issue the following command:
installer.exe -i silent -f C:/temp/installer.properties
>C:/temp/installer.log 2>&1
An automatic restart is normal for an unattended upgrade installation.

perform an unattended install without using a response file:
installer.exe -i silent -DLICENSE_ACCEPTED=true >C:/temp/installer.log 2>&1
