Problem:

Can a silent install of MFE 3,1 be done, using the MSI installation technology.?

Resolution:

This information is on the MFEEE CD.  From the README, go to System Administration, then open  SILENT INSTALL

To install the base GA MFEEE, you need to run the following statement, or something like it..

(it is assumed that D drive is the CD drive of the machine used for install)

d:\\SETUP\\MFEEE\\CBP3260000142.exe /S /V"/QN /L*VX d:\\INSTALL.LOG ADDLOCAL=MFE,MFANSYS,AMB,MFASM,MFCICS,MFIMS,SQL INSTALLDIR=d:\\MFE31 MFUSER=d:\\MFUSER31"

=========================================

d:\\SETUP\\MFEEE\\CBP3260000142.exe - is the MSI installation program for MFEEE

/S - run in silent mode

/V"    "  - parameters used by the MSI installation.

The breakdown of the parameters is as follows....

/QN  - start parameter

/L*VX - to specify the directory for the install log file - for example  L*VX d:\\install.log

ADDLOCAL=     this is to specify the options to be installed a list of which can be found on the MFE EE CD.   From the Silent Install readme, follow the   setup\\installcodes.txt   link for the available codes and options.

INSTALLDIR=     This is the directory in which MFEEE is to be installed.

MFUSER=           This is the default user directory for the MFEEE installation.

All parameters are separated by spaces.  

Long and spacey names should be enclosed in single quotes.

There is no mandatory need for either Serial Number or Work Order Number during installation.

However,  to input the Serial Number, a parameter SERIALNUM=MySerial  can be use in the same way that the INSTALLDIR= parameter is used.

There is no way, via the Silent Install, to input License Server details.
