Question & Answer


Question

How to do silent install of DB2 RunTime Client using msiexec?

Answer

DB2 Runtime Client image is an executable by itself and cannot be unpacked. (For example: v10.1fp4_ntx64_rtcl.exe is the executable for V10.1 Fix Pack 4)

Once <DB2 Version>_rtcl.exe is invoked, GUI Panel comes up,(before closing the GUI panel), go to %TEMP% (Type %TEMP% on windows explorer), the IBM Data Server Runtime Client.msi will be under the last modified folder.

Using the .msi file, DB2 Runtime Client can be installed as:

    msiexec /i "IBM Data Server Runtime Client.msi" /qb-! /l*V <log file name> RSP_FILE_PATH=<response file>
