Deploying ODAC 11.2.0.3.0

I have 64bit ODAC for Oracle client 11.2.0.3.0 to 'package' as a prerequisite . It is using the Oracle Universal Installer.  there is a setup config file with the following :-

[Install]

INTERACTIVE_ARGS= -local  

SILENT_ARGS= -local

Has anyone out there done this one and if so what methods have they used.

Answer Summary:
This product uses the standard Oracle Installer, that many other Oracle products use. Record a response file of your installation/configuration by launching setup.exe with the record switch: setup.exe -record -destinationFile e.g setup.exe -record -destinationFile C:\odac.rsp Open the .rsp file in notepad and modify the 'FROM_LOCATION'. It will contain an absolute path to where you called the installer from to record it. This can be set to a relative path by using the example in the commented out section above this setting. Running 'setup.exe -help' will show you the other command line options you can specify. The below will probably be the ones you require, but there may be others that will help. -responseFile (runs the installer with the response file you created) -noconsole (hides the console window that runs) -force (forces installation into an non empty folder) -silent (silent) -waitforcompletion (installer will wait for completion instead of spawning the java engine and exiting) There is also a -deinstall switch, which along with the -silent -noconsole -responseFile swithces can be used to produce a silent uninstallation. If you wanted to clean up shortcuts etc, or add any other customisation it might be useful to create a vb script to call the installer and make the modifications required.

This product uses the standard Oracle Installer, that many other Oracle products use.

Record a response file of your installation/configuration by launching setup.exe with the record switch:

setup.exe -record -destinationFile <response_file_name>

e.g

setup.exe -record -destinationFile C:\odac.rsp

Open the .rsp file in notepad and modify the 'FROM_LOCATION'. It will contain an absolute path to where you called the installer from to record it. This can be set to a relative path by using the example in the commented out section above this setting.

Running 'setup.exe -help' will show you the other command line options you can specify.

The below will probably be the ones you require, but there may be others that will help.

-responseFile <location of file> (runs the installer with the response file you created)

-noconsole (hides the console window that runs)

-force (forces installation into an non empty folder)

-silent (silent)

-waitforcompletion (installer will wait for completion instead of spawning the java engine and exiting)

There is also a -deinstall switch, which along with the -silent -noconsole -responseFile swithces can be used to produce a silent uninstallation.

If you wanted to clean up shortcuts etc, or add any other customisation it might be useful to create a vb script to call the installer and make the modifications required.

Hope that helps,

    THANKS IN ADVANCE. - om 10 years ago
  • It's going to be the same .rsp file for the uninstall as the installation.
    Is it that the -deinstall switch isn't working with the other associated switches I mentioned not working?
    What does running the setup.exe -help show as uninstallation switches?

    The OP (oreillyr) used the below for their uninstall command line:

    setup.exe -responseFile <Path And File Name of .rsp> -force -silent -noconsole -ignoresysPrereqs -waitforcompletion -deinstall

    This uninstalled it silently for them, bearing in mind this was the 64bit version.
