Creating a response file

You can create a response file by recording your actions as you install a package using Installation Manager. When you record a response file, all of the commands you run in the GUI-version of Installation Manager are captured and stored in a response file. When you run Installation Manager in silent mode, Installation Manager uses the response file to locate the repositories, set the defined preferences, and so on.
Before you create a response file, the directory that the response file will reside in must exist; otherwise, the response file will not generate.
To record a response file for installation (or uninstallation):
  1. Enter and run the following command from a Windows command line, substituting your own location for the response and log file:
    launcher –record c:\mylog\responsefile.xml
  2. Walk through Installation Manager to install (or uninstall) an installation package.
  3. Exit Installation Manager.
A response file is created and resides in the location specified in the command.
