To install
COBOL Server you run the
<COBOL_Server_exe> file (cs_100.exe or
csx64_100.exe) which contains a number of product
.msi files (Windows Installer packages). When run, the executable performs some initial system checks then sequentially installs
the
.msi files.
TheCOBOL Server executable can take a number of parameters, enabling you to specify a number of different types of installation:
- Standard Installation
- Format:
- <COBOL_Server_exe>
- Summary:
- Full installation including License Manager and
COBOL Server. During installation you can specify options including the location to which the components are installed.
- Non-interactive Installation
- Format:
- <COBOL_Server_exe> /passive
- Summary:
- Full installation, but the components are installed non-interactively using default options and directories.
- Silent Installation
- Format:
- start /wait
<COBOL_Server_exe> /q
- Summary:
- Full installation, but the components are installed non-interactively with no user interface, using default options and directories.
- Modified Silent Installation
- Format:
- start /wait
<COBOL_Server_exe> /q InstallFolder=d:\cobolrts
- Summary:
- Full installation, but the components are installed non-interactively with no user interface, and
COBOL Server is installed to
d:\cobolrts.
To see what parameters you can use, execute the following from the command line:
<COBOL_Server_exe> /?.
Note:
- Log files that are created during installation are saved in the folder specified by the TEMP environment variable. To change
the location or name of the files, use the
/log parameter on your setup command line and specify the path and file name, for example:
filename /log d:\temp\log.txt. This creates a log file, named
log.txt, in the
d:\temp directory.
