I am trying to create an automated network installation for BusinessObjects full client. I have created a master installer and users are able to install the client over the network. But, the master installation still prompts users for destination directory and other few options. I would like to make the installation fully automated (unattended) with no prompt to the user. Has anybody done this or have any suggestion?

From a command prompt, change to the directory of your master installation
and execute:
setup.exe -s -skip
-s = “Silent.” Silent in this case means no questions, but you can still see the output to the screen.
-skip = Does not ask questions when copying files.
There are additional options, but this sounds like all you’re looking for. If you need more, I found this information in the Business Objects Resolution Database on the “Interactive Support Center” under reference #431.

We have set up a fully automatic deployment of a Bus Obj “shared” install using ESD (Electronic Software Distribution).
We create a full template (Server & Desktop) in a controlled environment, capture all the changes thru “WinInstall”, check for any DLL collisions with a homegrown desktop product, and then automatically deploy the upgrade to designated desktops the next time the user logs onto the LAN using NAN (Norton Administrator).
The Wininstall product captures all registry changes and those are also deployed by NAN.
