Is it possible to deploy BO in a administrator-friendly way? Is it not possible to have a completely automatic setup done without user interactions?

Hans,
there is a semi-documented feature called Setup Scripts. I don’t have the documentation right now, but I’m sure you can get it from your local support.

Hans,
The following are the parameters you can use to automate an installation from CD:
To perform a default installation, accepting all the defaults (directories, etc.) as in an “Express” installation use:
-s -skip
This can also be used to perform a Stand-Alone installation from a Master Installation, even if the Master has been configured for only Shared clients.
You may also want to use the following to skip the prompt for the installation keys:
-key Product key
-rdbmskey Database Access key
So, from the DOS prompt, you would do the following:
f:\setup\setup.exe -s -skip -key <your_key> -rdbmskey <your_key>
Cheers,
Luis Gonzalez

Hans;
We use a shared (Master) install on each of our network servers (4.1.3).
We create a Master install template on a test machine with all the options, file locations, disk paths, etc. pre built. This is then copied, including registry settings, to all other servers (about 10).
We then create a shared (client) install template & capture all settings, including registry. This is then deployed to user desktops thru an automated ESD (Electronic Software Distribution) initiated by our ESD support staff. Entire install takes about 90 seconds on the client. This ESD job also installs the Sybase Open Client middleware needed for our Sybase repository. Other middleware (Oracle, DB2, etc.) is installed the same way in separate ESD jobs.
