How to install Oracle Client 11G R2 in windows 8.1 silent

2907818Mar 19 2015 — edited Apr 2 2015

I have tried many ways to install Oracle Client 11G R2 in windows 8.1 silently and looks like an impossible task.

I have already used all documented procedures like:

Simply taring the installer and selecting "save response file" and then using it with "setup.exe /a /s /f1c:\client.rsp"

I also used the template that came with the installer (with my settings) and nothing.

I used "setup.exe /a /r /f1c:\client.rsp" to create a response file and noting.

I have replaced all the "/" with "-" and still the same (setup.exe -a -s -f1c:\Client.rsp)

I have placed the response file in many different places.

I'm installing as administrator.

the procedure I tried already worked in windows 7 but didn't work under windows 8.1

I used the -ignoreSysPrereqs

I have used the complete sentence:

setup.exe -silent -destinationFile <response_file_name>

Well, I think I tried everything and nothing, Every time I try to install silently the installer starts ignoring all silent switches.

It does starts and installs completely, but it prompts me to answer all configuration items ignoring the response file and switches.

Have any of you managed to install Oracle 11g R2 unattended? silently?

I am trying to deploy it via SCCM to several clients.

Thanks in Advance.
