Unable to install Patch 10.0.1 silent

[Former Member]

Hello,

I try to install

SQLAnywhere10_Windows_Patch_10.0.1.exe

without user interaction in a network environment. If I invoke the install program with the -r option, no *.iss file is generated. Does anybody know, how I can install this patch automatically?

Thanks in advance Joachim Emde

Did you follow the steps as described in the docs? - FWIW, the response file should be generated in the Windows directory.

BTW, you can also use the Deployment Wizard to customize a setup as a MSI file, and then have that run silently with the usual Windows Installer service options...

Sorry, I didn't get the point that you were trying to make a silent run of a packaged download file. For this, there's an official documentation here:

Hello,

many thanks for your help.

BTW, you can also use the Deployment Wizard to customize a setup as a MSI file, and then have that run silently with the usual Windows Installer service options... I first tried to use the msi file produced with the deployment wizard. But on 64 bit machines there where no 32 bit odbc drivers installed which I need.

With your help I learned that the SQLAnywhere10_Windows_Patch_10.0.1.exe file is an archive which I could open with winrar. Inside this archive there is again a setup.exe which understands -s option. So everything is fine now.

Many thanks again Joachim Emde

I am not sure if the same would apply for version 10 but the discussion on this question for SA12 might help you with the silent install.

Hope it helps.
