How to install IBM Rational DOORS in silent mode

When you script Rational product installations, you must do so in the following order:

1. First, any of Rational DOORS, Rational Synergy, Rational Change, and Rational Tau.
2. Next, Rational DOORS Analyst and Rational Publishing Engine.
3. Finally, all other products and integrations.

Note: The below scripts are case sensitive.

C:\doors_server\setup.exe /s /v"/l*v \"C:\doors_server\install.log\" /qnPORTNUMBER=\"36677\"DATABASEDIR=\"C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.2\data\" INSTALLDIR=\"C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.2\""

• For the Rational DOORS database server, enter a command in the following format:

msiexec.exe /l*v "C:\doors_client\install.log" /qn /i

"C:\doors_client\IBM\Rational\DOORS\9.2.msi" INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\IBM\Rational\DOORS\" CLIENTDATA="36677@server_machine"TLLICENSESERVER="19353@license_server"

• For the Rational DOORS client, enter a command in the following format:

Note: If you are running silent installation on Microsoft Windows Vista, you will need to make sure that User Account Control is switched off.

Also Note: When running the script you need to be careful not to contain any "carriage returns" due to copying it from a text file. The best thing is to enter it manually and not to copy/paste.

IMPORTANT: In the event of an error, a silent installation program does not display any dialog boxes. Instead, status information for the silent installation is recorded in a log file called install.log created in the command lines. You can specify any name and location you want.
