If you want to run a dialog-free installation on your server, you can configure an INI file with the desired installation procedure.

If you want to enable desktop components as part of the installation procedure, you have to re-create the INI file. You need to carry out the following steps on the installation server:

1.       Start SAPsetup from the installation server. In the Administrative Setup, choose the function Create INI file for dialog-free installation.

2.       Follow the instructions that are displayed. Enter the parameters in the dialog so that they are suitable for the conditions at your workplace.

At the end of the dialog sequence, the INI file is created in the installation directory on your installation server.

The SAPsetup.INI file that you created is now available for dialog-free installation using a batch file. The content of the batch file for this type of installation should look like this: sapsetup.exe /i:<disk drive>:\<path>\SAPsetup.ini.

If you want to use other possible values in the SAPsetup dialogs, you can configure these in the SAPSETUP.INI file.Use the section [default] for this. This example shows all supported entries:

[default]

DestDir=c:\SAPpc

;installation language (e, d, j)

language=d
