Commands

Command Description
<profile 
id="the profile (package group) id" 
installLocation="the install location of
 the profile">
<data key="key1" value="value1"/>
<data key="key2" value="value2"/>

</profile>
A profile is an installation location. Use this command to create a package group (or installation location). If the specified package group already exists, then the command has no effect.

You can use the <data> element to set profile properties.

<server>
<repository location="http://example/
repository/">
<repository location="file:/C:/
repository/">
<!-add more repositories below-->
<..>
      </server>
Use this command to specify the repositories used during a silent installation. Use a URL or UNC path to specify remote repositories; or use directory paths to specify local repositories.
<install>
<offering profile= "profile id" 
features= "feature ids" 
id= "offering id" version= "offering 
version" selected="true"></offering>

<!-add more repositories below-->
<..>

</install>
Use this command to specify the installation packages that will be installed.
  • The offering profile ID must match an existing profile or a profile created by the set profile command.
  • Feature IDs can be optionally specified by a comma-delimited list, such as
    "feature1, feature2"
    and so on. If no feature ID is specified, all the default features will be installed.
  • The version number is optional. If no version is specified, the Installation Manager will install the most recent product with the specified id and any available updates and fixes.
