# Creating a response file

Before starting the installation, you need to create a response file.

To create the response file:

1. From the directory containing the Qlik Enterprise Manager setup file, run the following command (note that this will also install Enterprise Manager):

   ` QlikEnterpriseManager_version_X64.exe /r /f1my_response_file
                            `

   where:

   `my_response_file` is the full path to the response file that will be generated.

   Example:

   ` QlikEnterpriseManager_6.1.0.536_X64.exe /r /f1C:\Enterprise Manager_install.iss
                            `

   Information note

   At the end of the Enterprise Manager installation, when you are prompted to run the PostgreSQL installer, click No.

2. To change the default installation directory, open the response file in a text editor and edit the first szDir value as necessary.

3. To change the default data directory, edit the third szDir value as necessary.

4. Save the file as <name>.iss, e.g. silent\_inst\_64.iss.
