Installer and Uninstaller Command-Line Arguments

Sets the installer interface mode: silent/console/gui.

c:\myinstall.exe -i silent

sh ./install.bin -i console

Creates a response file. (See Generating Response Files.)

c:\myinstall.exe -r c:\temp\myinstaller.properties

In the example above, a response file named myinstaller.properties will be written to the c:\temp directory. If you do not enter a path and file name for the response file, the file will be named installer.properties or [installername].properties and it will be created in the same directory as the installer.

Note • Response files can be used to provide input for silent installers.

Uses the specified language code (and optional country code) to set the locale for the installer. (See Language Codes.)

c:\myinstall.exe -l en

sh ./install.bin -l pt_BR

The required language code is a two-character (commonly lowercase) code defined by the ISO-639 standard. InstallAnywhere accepts both old (iw, ji, and in) and new (he, yi, and id) language codes.

The optional country code is a two-character (commonly uppercase) code defined by the ISO-3166 standard.

Note • Locale options are only respected if the installer includes localizations for the locale you specify.

Sets the JVM heap size maximum value.

<installer_name> -jvmxmx <size>

The default size for these values is measured in bytes. Append the letter k or K to the value to indicate kilobytes, m or M to indicate megabytes, and g or G to indicate gigabytes. For example, to set the maximum JVM heap size to 50 megabytes, enter the following:

install.exe -jvmxms 50m
