Silent install of Hana client

[urgalor]

I'm trying to deploy the Hana client for SAP with a software deployment solution, and for that I need some parameters that will install the software silently without user interaction. I have found an earlier question about this in https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/hana-studio-client-installation-in-silent-mode/qaq-p/832... but it is 14 years old and the parameters in there don't work or cause an error.

I have the following files in my deployment:

And if I use the command "hdbsetup --batch" as per the other question, the installer skips step 1 but stops on step 2, waiting for user interaction. There, I need to click the "Install" button for it to continue. However when deploying with i.e. Intune that is obviously not possible, the installation instead needs to continue without user input.

Is there any kind of parameter that allows this install go to through 100% without any user input? I have tried some additonal parameters like "-a client", "-features=all", "-components=all", "--silent", "--quiet", "--path=<path>", but they either have no effect or cause the installer to throw an error.

Hi, You may use following command from "Command Prompt". hdbinst -a client --batch Best Regards, Eason Chen

I eventually found the problem. If you want to install this silently, you need to use hdbinst.exe and not hdbsetup.exe

You need to create a config file first. Use the command hdbinst with the parameter dump_configfile_template.

Then use the parameter --configfile to use the file created before. More info here: https://help.sap.com/docs/SAP_HANA_PLATFORM/2c1988d620e04368aa4103bf26f17727/ea8d19abb4ff48e69f06612...
