Paul / Steve - Thanx for your quick responses... I'll allocate another PC and give this a try, using the correct syntax! Thanx again, Kenneth -----Original Message----- From: McKay, Steve [mailto:Steve.McKay@SouthTrust.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 11, 2002 12:32 PM To: midrange-l@midrange.com Subject: RE: CA/400 Silent Install Kenneth - "Has anyone installed CA/400 using silent install? If so, how would you recommend that I create and distribute these files to 100's of PC's?" Yes, I have used silent install successfully with C/A images on the IFS. It is pretty slow compared to installing directly from CD, but it works. "The SupportLine representative told me that I could NOT create a silent install file unless I did it as part of an actual INSTALLATION of CA/400 on my PC. I said "What? .. You mean that I can't create an response file without actually installing the product?" He insisted that this is true." I suppose you could manually create the response file but you would have to know all of the possible options. If you review the URL below, you will find an example response file which is quite ugly. "setup -r -fld:C:\temp\ca400.iss" I believe this should be "setup -r -f1C:\temp\ca400.iss" The alternative is something like Microsoft's SMS product which has the ability to compare a "base" disk image to the target PC's disk and resolve the differences or Norton's Ghost which allows you to copy a directory or disk image to another PC.
