installer.properties generated where?
Hi,
If an installer is set to always generate a response file, and your installer executable is run from a cd-rom or from some directory where you do not have write permissions, is the installer.properties file created somewhere else? Because I'm seeing java.io.FileOutputStream errors but no mention of creating installer.properties elsewhere. Is there a way to I set my own response file path, such as $prop.user.home$/install.properties, thereby working around a possible permissions issue?

Hi Jeff Morse,
The response file path can be customized
-r C:\installer.properties (this is in case of windows)
-r \root\installer.properties (in case of non windows)
So "-r " is the switch to create a response file in a customized location.
Thanks,

I guess I wasn't clear enough with my question. I am designing an installer, not running one from commandline. Thanks anyway.
