InstallAnywhere 2008 and silent installation
Hi all,
I need to generate silent properties file automatically.
I implemented all changes described in the user guide.
I installed my application running:
install.bin -r /data/
Here below the content of the generated file:
% cat /data/
# Thu Dec 06 10:48:01 GMT 2007
# Replay feature output
# ---------------------
# This file was built by the Replay feature of InstallAnywhere.
# It contains variables that were set by Panels or Consoles.
So, it is empty :confused: No variables/values are listed ...
Can someone help me on this?
Thanks a lot in advance,
Natascia

Hello,
Have you found a solution to your problem?
We are facing a similar situation.
What we want is when we start our installer with the '-r' option the resulting respnose file should have all properties / varialbes that were set by even the Custom Panels / Consoles.
Our response file has only the following:
#Destination Location
#--------------------
USER_INSTALL_DIR={our desired install folder}
since that property is being set using the 'Choose Install Folder' panel, which is a standard InstallAnywhere panel.
Any feed back / pointers would be great.
Thanks

It looks like you can register variables with the Replay Manager using the following call...
ReplayVariableManager.e().a("YOUR_VARIABLE", "A Description of your variable");
If you do this then YOUR_VARIABLE should show up in installer.properties when you use the -r option.
ReplayVariableManager.e().a("YOUR_VARIABLE", "A Description of your variable");
If you do this then YOUR_VARIABLE should show up in installer.properties when you use the -r option.

Thanks bradbeck! This is the answer I've been looking for.
I created a CustomCodeConsoleAction and made the call to ReplayVariableManager and the response file contained the variable I wanted defined.
Why isn't this part of the CustomCodeConsoleProxy class? Or documented somewhere or in an example? It just feels incomplete to me.

I created this file mannualy by custom code action. You can got all variables by the following code:
Hashtable sortedVariables = VariableManager.c().getSortedVariables()
