Silent Install and Set Environment variable
I was trying to set environment variable through "Set environment variable action" It works with GUI installer.
But with silent installation : During installation it fails. (Completes partial install, then automatically runs uninstallation)
I think it is failing at set environment variable.
Do i need to specify some special key=value pair for it in properties file?
what could be the reason for failure in silent installation?
Thanks.

The problem with environment variables on Unices is the following: do you need to set it for all users or for a single user (maybe the user installing the software)? Then depending to the answer all you need to do is to add
export VARIABLE_NAME=
say to /etc/profile or whatever file is appropriate for Solaris (in case you want the variable to be set to all users) or to ~user/.profile if you want it for a specific user!

Hi
I am referring to setting an solaris environment variable to null for all users through InstallAnywhere 2008 Enterprise Edition.

Well, then, see my previous post, I think I've already answered that.

Hi Vlad
In your previous post you mentioned of editing the variable name in etc/profile manually.
What i want to ask is that can i do some changes in the InstallAnywhere by , for example adding an action during installtime like setting environment variable to empty.

All that I said in my post was the file to modify... knowing that InstallAnywhere has builtin Modify Text File actions, in which for instance you can add a line if the line didn't already exist.
