Creating a response file

A response file is used with msiexec. You can create it in three ways.

About this task

A response file is used with the msiexec command, for further information see Using a response file with msiexec.

Procedure

There are three ways to create a response file for installation:
  • Copy and edit the file Response.ini that is supplied on the IBM® WebSphere® MQ Windows Server CD, using an ASCII file editor.
  • Create your own response file using an ASCII file editor.
  • Use the msiexec command with the SAVEINI (and optionally, the ONLYINI) command line parameters to generate a response file that contains the same installation options. See Table 1.

Example

A typical example of using msiexec with the SAVEINI parameter is here:
msiexec /i "path\IBM WebSphere MQ.msi" /q SAVEINI="response_file" 
TRANSFORMS="1033.mst" AGREETOLICENSE="yes"
