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. CONNECT_TO_EXISTIN G_SERVER Specify the license server configuration information, the host name and the port number. If you do not have a license manager installed and configured, use the LIC_FILE_PATH variable. LIC_FILE_PATH Specify the path to the license file received from Cadence. Installer will install a License Manager and configure the server with the license file information. This variable will be ignored if you also specify CONNECT_TO_EXISTING_SERVER along with this variable. 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.
