19.2 Installing Analyzer Silently

A silent (non-interactive) installation does not display a user interface or ask the user any questions. Instead, InstallAnywhere uses information from a default analzerInstaller.properties file. You can run the silent installation with the default file or edit the file to customize the installation process.

By default, the installation program installs Analyzer in the Program Files (x86)\NetIQ\Analyzer directory.

  1. Log in as to the computer where you want to install Analyzer.

  2. (Conditional) If you have the .iso image file for the Identity Manager installation package, navigate to the directory containing the Analyzer installation files, located by default in the \products\Analyzer directory.

  3. Conditional) If you downloaded the Analyzer installation files from the NetIQ Downloads website, complete the following steps:

    1. Navigate to the win.zip file for the downloaded image.

    2. Extract the contents of the file to a folder on the local computer.

  4. (Optional) To specify a non-default installation path, complete the following steps:

    1. Open the analzerInstaller.properties file, located by default in the \products\Analyzer directory.

    2. Add the following text to the properties file:

      USER_INSTALL_DIR=installation_path

  5. To run the silent installation, issue the following command:

    install.exe -i silent -f analyzerInstaller.properties

  6. To activate Analyzer, see Activating Analyzer in theNetIQ Identity Manager Overview and Planning Guide.
