About this task
You can silently install Installation Manager and software packages at the same time. Optionally, you can install Installation Manager, and then use Installation Manager to install packages silently.

The following steps describe how to silently install packages:
Results
When the Installation Manager installer is run, it reads
the response file and (optionally) writes to a log file in the specified
directory. If you specify a log file and directory, the log file contains
no entries if installation was completed. The log file contains an
error entry when the operation was not completed. An example of a
log file for a completed installation:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <result> </result>
A log file for Installation Manager is also available. For the default location of the log directory, see Agent data location.
