To install ZENworks , the following arguments can be used with the setup.exe and setup.sh executable files that are located at the root of the installation DVD. You can run these files from a command line.
You should use the sh command with setup.sh in order to prevent rights issues.

Argument |
Long Form |
Explanation |
|---|---|---|
|
‑e |
‑‑console |
(Linux only) Forces a command line installation. |
|
‑l |
‑‑database‑location |
Specifies a custom OEM (embedded) database directory. |
|
‑c |
‑‑create-db |
Launches a database administration tool. It cannot be used at the same time as the ‑o argument. |
|
‑s |
‑‑silent |
If this is not used with the -f argument, it causes the installation that you are performing to create a response file (with a .properties file name extension) that you can edit, rename, and use for an unattended installation to another server. If this is used with the ‑f argument, an unattended installation on the server is started, using the response file that you specify with the ‑f argument. |
|
‑f [path to file] |
‑‑property-file [path to file] |
Used with the -s argument, performs an unattended (silent) installation using the response file that you specify. If you do not specify a response file, or if the path or file name is incorrect, the default non-silent GUI or command line installation is used instead. |
Some examples:
To perform a command line installation on a Linux server:
sh unzip_location/Disk1/setup.sh -eTo specify a database directory:
unzip_location\disk1\setup.exe -l d:\databases\PostgreSQLTo create a response file:
unzip_location\disk1\setup.exe -sTo perform an unattended installation:
unzip_location\disk1\setup.exe -s -f c:\temp\myinstall_1.properties
