ST: how to setup a silent install / install image for StarTeam
Problem Description:StarTeam 5.x - Windows - Client and
WebEdition How to setup a silent install with StarTeam
Resolution:
Instructions:
1. Copy StarTeam.exe under the Client\Web folder from the CD to a
network location
2. Copy installer.properties and custom.exe to the same location as
StarTeam.exe.
3. Run StarTeam.exe -> this with the existence of
installer.properties in the same location installs StarTeam client
silently
4. Run Custom.exe -> this installs the requested license
Note:
1. the "installer.properties" file contains customizable
options (path, install type, ...)
2. to avoid repackaging StarTeam, a separate program custom.exe is
attached to install the requested license. The computers will need
to be restarted after the silent installations complete. There is
an InstallAnywhere bug that makes it impossible for the silent
installation to initiate a computer restart. Otherwise, this
installation would include a computer restart option. You"ll
want an SMS package to wait a few minutes before issuing a restart
to make sure that the installation has finished.
