Question
When I attempt to install WDI 3.3 client using silent mode, using the WDI 3.2 Fix Pack install directions, the install starts to process but fails with no error message.
Cause
When installing WDI client 3.2 fix packs only the "-P installLocation="/InstallPathLocation V3.2 " switch was necessary. For a WDI 3.3 Client base install, you must accept the IBM License Agreement. To do this you must also specify the -G option "-G licenseAccepted=true"
################################################################################
#
# Has the license been accepted
#
# The license must be accepted before installation so this value must be true
# for the install to be successful. Example: -G licenseAccepted=true
#
### -G licenseAccepted=<value>

# Location
#
# The install location of the product. Specify a valid directory into which the
# product should be installed. If the directory contains spaces, enclose it in
# double-quotes. For example, to install the product to C:\Program Files\My
# Product, use
#
# -P installLocation="C:\Program Files\My Product"
#
### -P installLocation=<value>
Answer
Solution:
1. Create a responsefile.txt that includes the following:
-G licenseAccepted=true -P installLocation="C:\Program
Files\IBM\WDIClient\v33\"
2. run WDIClient33.exe -options path to responsefile.txt -silent.
Note: path to responsefile.txt = fully qualified path including name of
file.
