Installing a Windows Execution Server in Silent Mode

Before you start, download the Silk Central executable file or insert the Silk Central DVD into the drive.

Install an execution server on each point of presence (POP) that you want to use as a remote Silk Central execution server. The execution server executes Silk Central tests on remote computers.

To install a Windows execution server in silent mode, enter the following command from a DOS shell or batch file: WindowsExecServer.exe -s -c -f"<PATH_TO_EXTRACTED_FILES>" -a /s /f1"<PATH_TO_EXTRACTED_FILES>\Install.iss" /v"/qn PROP_SILENTMODE=1 PROP_LANGUAGE=<LOCALE>".

Set the parameter PROP_SILENTMODE to 1 to install the execution server in silent mode. Choose the appropriate of the following values for the parameter PROP_LANGUAGE to define the language of the installation:

Value: Description
EN: English
DE: German
FR: French
JA: Japanese
ZH: Chinese (Simplified)

For example, the following command installs an execution server in English:

 WindowsExecServer.exe -s -c -f"c:\temp\SilkCentralExecSrv" -a /s /f1"c:\temp\SilkCentralExecSrv\Install.iss"
/v"/qn PROP_SILENTMODE=1 PROP_LANGUAGE=EN"
