Silently installing Compose
The installation process consists of two stages: creating a response file, and running the silent install.
Creating a response file
Before starting the installation, you need to create a response file.
To create the response file:
-
From the directory containing the Compose setup file, run the following command (note that this will also install Compose):
Qlik_Compose_<version.number>.exe /r /f1<my_response_file>
where:
<my_response_file> is the full path to the generated response file.
Example:
Qlik_Compose_<version.number>.exe /r /f1C:\Compose_install.iss
- To change the default installation directory, open the response file in a text editor and edit the first szDir value as necessary.
- To change the default data directory, edit the third szDir value as necessary.
- Save the file as <name>.iss, e.g. Compose_install_64.iss.
Running the silent install
To silently install Compose, open a command prompt and change the working directory to the directory containing the Compose setup file. Then issue the following command (where <response file> is the path to the response file you created earlier):
Syntax:
<Compose_setup_file> /s /f1<my_response_file> [/f2<LOG_FILE>]
Example:
C:\>Qlik_Compose_<version.number>.exe /s /f1C:\temp\1\Compose_install.iss /f2C:\temp\1\silent_x64_install.log
If the installation was successful, the log file should contain the following rows:
[ResponseResult]
ResultCode=0
