Installing a Client (Command-Line Interface)
Step 4 Run the command-line “silent” setup command, setup -s.
This command accepts the following options:
setup -s -m filename
-s indicates “silent” and -m indicates the specification of a MIF filename. The
-m parameter and filename are optional. The MIF file indicates the status of
the installation (successful or unsuccessful). It does not have to currently
exist.
Note: The order of these options is important. Specifying the -m option
before the
-s option will not invoke the MIF file.
Step 5 Check the status of the installation to determine if it was successful. To do so,
locate the MIF file in the
\windows\temp or \winnt\temp directory that you
specified in Step 4.
Note: An unsuccessful installation may be due to a shortage of disk space.
If you did not specify a MIF file, check the
pdba_out.trc file in the
\windows or \winnt directory for specific warning or error messages
associated with the installation.
Where to Go From Here
After you install the client, you can start and configure it. See “Starting and
Configuring the Client” on page 9-18.
