Performing a Silent Install

Note: It is important to install the StarTeam Cross-Platform Client using a user that is an administrator on the computer.

You can run the client installer in a “silent” mode from the command line with one of the following:

The default values for installation options.
Values that you set for installation options.

To set your own values for installation options:

Create a text file named installer.properties to contain the installation options to be set.
Add options and their values to the file. Each installer option is represented by a parameter followed by an equal sign followed by the value for the parameter. Each parameter is on a separate line in the file. The first line must be INSTALLER_UI=silent. Any options from the table that are not specified will use their default values. The following provides other possible silent installation options for the installer.properties file.

USER_INSTALL_DIR=

Client installation path. The default is C:\\Program Files\\Micro Focus\\StarTeam Cross-Platform Client <version>.

ST_SDKROOT=

SDK installation path. The default is C:\\Program Files\\Micro Focus.

RESTART_NEEDED=NO

Set this value to NO to control reboot after SDK installation.

USER_REQUESTED_RESTART=NO

Set this value to NO to control user message about rebooting after StarTeam Cross-Platform Client installation.

CHOSEN_INSTALL_SET=

Type of installation (Typical or Compact. Custom is not supported for a silent installation). The default is Typical.

Important: Double backslashes are required in path specifications.
Run the installer downloaded for Microsoft Windows from the command line in one of the following ways:
- Followed by -I silent (to use the default installation options with no rebooting).
- Followed by -f path_to_installer.properties_file.
- Without a parameter if the instllation.properties file exists and is in the same folder as the downloaded installer.
