A silent install provides InstallShield Wizard with instructions for installing Novell SecureLogin. To use a silent install, you have to use a response file.
The response file is created during installation in <WidowsVolume>\NSLFiles\responsefile.ini. It captures your responses to the dialogs that you encounter during the installation. This is later used as an input for silent installation.
Proceed with the silent installation in either of the following two methods:
Place the response.ini file in the same folder where the Novell SecureLogin.msi file is stored. Run the Novell SecureLogin.msi. Silent installation takes place.
or,
Run the silent installation through the command line. To do this, click > and at the command prompt, type
Msiexec /i "Novell SecureLogin.msi" /qn PATHTOISS="absolute path to responsefile.ini"
IMPORTANT:During silent install, the PATHTOISS property must contain the absolute path to responsefile.ini. If it is a relative path or if the file path is invalid, then Novell SecureLogin installation is aborted.
During the install, the log file nslinstalllog.txt is created in C:\NSLFiles.
