Silently installing Qlik Replicate

Qlik Replicate can be installed silently (i.e. without requiring user interaction). This option is useful, for example, if you need to install Qlik Replicate on several machines throughout your organization.

The installation process consists of creating a response file and then running the silent installation.

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 Replicate setup file, run the following command (note that this will also install Qlik Replicate):

   QlikReplicate_<version-build>_X64.exe /r /f1my_response_file

   where:

   my_response_file is the full path to the generated response file.

   Example:  

   QlikReplicate_<version-build>_X64.exe /r /f1C:\Replicate_install.iss

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.

Running the silent install

To silently install Qlik Replicate, open a command prompt and change the working directory to the directory containing the Qlik Replicate setup file. Then issue the following command (where <response file> is the path to the response file you created earlier):

Syntax:  

<Replicate_setup_file> /s /f1my_response_file [/f2LOG_FILE]

Example:  

C:\>QlikReplicate_<version-build>_X64.exe /s /f1C:\temp\1\Replicate_install.iss /f2C:\temp\1\silent_x64_install.log

If the installation was successful, the log file should contain the following rows:
