AutoSys Workload Automation

Before we start I want thank you in advance and know that I am not automation or on the owning application team member as they both argue who needs to test this as I am just the Vulnerability Manager for Our Windows Servers and trying to get this deployed as soon as possible The previous 2 just argue about who is responsible for settings and testing. I was given an 11.4 Package for windows and by using the existing Agent Parm file was able to install manually and successfully on Numerous Servers. Now they want A silent install through command line. I am trying to test on a Dev box the 11.4 package provided by vendor. It is named setup.exe. I need to install first and make a response file . But it seems every time I run the install with setup.exe -r the package begins the process then just goes away with no error. I try running the  /? or/H or /Help after package name and get no response. Has anyone had this issue before I just need the correct switches or process to test for a silent install of this package. Thank you all !!!

Hello Ernie

I already got this problem and it was due to Windows Permissions.

Turning out UAC in Windows, just for the installation, will allow you to install it.

Then you can turn it on again if you wish

Hello Ernie

By reading this post again, I just realize that you are not trying to run the silent installation with a response file by you are trying to build a response file.

The steps to install the System Agent in silent mode are documented here

Basically you have to customize the installer .properties file to meet your requirements manually

On windows it is called win_installer.properties and located on the installation media (.iso file)

At the end of this .properties file, you can also call another file to change some parameters in the agentparm.txt file by using the RAW_DATA keyword.

For example:

RAW_DATA=/usr/home/joe/additional_agentparm.txt

When your file is ready, run the silent installation with:

setup.exe -f "path\win_installer.properties"

And finally, if this setup.exe -f command returns with no error without installing the System Agent, please see my previous post about UAC
