The silentinstall-SPB.ini file The template Disk1\documents\silentinstall-SPB.ini for silent installation contains various variables to set the different installation parameters. The file has three sections; State, Features, and Data. Most variables are commented using the semicolon (;). You can edit the file using any text editor and remove the comments, if needed, to use the variables. The following table describes the different variables. Variable Description State TargetDir Specify the location where you want to install the products. This variable is in the State section of the template. For example, to install the products at the location D:\Cadence\SPB_17.2 edit the template to read TargetDir=D:\Cadence\SPB_17.2. If you use a mapped drive for the path and UAC is on, ensure that the mapped drive is accessible from your system by using the Windows command prompt or any other shell. RebootIfReqd Specify RebootIfReqd=Y if you want the computer to reboot when installation is completed. The default value is N. FileServerLocation Dir Specify the server location. This is the shared location where products are installed. This variable is required for client installation. If you use a mapped drive for the location and UAC is on, ensure that the mapped drive is accessible from your system by using the Windows command prompt or any other shell. OnMaintenance You can specify whether you want to modify, repair, or remove installation. The possible values are MODIFY, REPAIR, and REMOVEALL. MODIFY allows you to add new products by editing the Feature section of the silent installation file. REPAIR will update the environment variables and the registry settings. REMOVEALL will uninstall the current installation.
