Preparing the Silent Installation
Copy the files on the WebSphere Portal CDs to the local hard drive, or a network share. Use a directory
structure similar to c:\cdimg\w-setup, c:\cdimg\w-1, etc.
Copy the installresponse.txt file to a temporary location such as c:\temp, and then using a text
editor, modify the following key values.
Table 11
below identifies the installation value and options chosen for this response file.
Key Parameters
This table contains some of the values used in the silent installation response file that you can
change to meet your customer requirements. If desired, you can also use this table to record the values
you changed. A separate spreadsheet of this table is packaged with this Solution Starting Point.
