By default an unattended installation applies the default settings of the installer. If
you want to install the application on a large number of computers but you need to
change the default values of some settings (like the install folder on disk, whether a
desktop icon or a quick launch shortcut is created, the file associations created in the
operating system, the name of the program group on the Start menu, etc.) then you should
use a special settings file which specifies the new values for these settings. To
generate the settings file you have to run the installer in normal attended mode once on
a test computer and specify the exact options that you want for the unattended
installation. When the installation is completed a file called
response.varfile and containing your selected options is
created in the
.install4j subfolder of the installation folder, by
default
C:\Program Files\Syncro SVN Client 8.1\.install4j
on Windows. This is a one time process. After that for applying these options on
all the computers where an unattended installation is performed you have to specify this
file in the command line, for example copy the file in the same location as the
installer program and use the command:
- - on Windows:
-
syncroSVNClient.exe -q -varfile response.varfile
- - on Linux:
-
syncroSVNClient.sh -q -varfile response.varfile
