Client 11g silent installation guidance

774455May 21 2010 — edited May 21 2010
Hello everyone,
I am just starting my journey into the world of Oracle. Typically it has not been a smooth start hence my post here.

I have been asked to arrange a silent install of the 11g Client (v11.1.0.6.21 specifically) onto a Windows XP machine. I diligently did some reading on the net as there is zero documentation or install media here - just the installation files. I managed to create a response file using "setup.exe -record -destinationFile newbie.rsp", modified some minor settings and tried to:

setup.exe -silent -noconfig -nowait -responsefile "c:\newbie.rsp"

Unfortunately I just cannot get the text-based "Oracle Universal Installer" window to hide during the install, regardless of what I put in the response file. So I am not doing very well on the "silent install" front.

Then I found this thread: 4241939

However the installer I have doesn't seem to have the "save the current session as a record file" option.


So, would someone be kind enough to point me in the direction of some up to date doco I can read please? I am keen to learn all about this but I just can't seem to find a place to start.

Any suggestions are greatly received and appreciated.
Best regards,
Troy
