Command Line Options

The Rhapsody installer can be run in three modes:

Mode

Description

-q

Unattended mode. Does not interact with the user during installation.

-c

Console mode. Queries for each option on the command line. On Windows®, ensure you use the mode as follows:

start /wait installer.exe -c 

-g

GUI mode (default on Windows®).

The following parameters are only valid when used with the unattended mode:

Parameter

Description

-dir [directoryPath]

Sets the installation directory.

-splash [title]

Displays a small window with a progress bar and the specified title, and informs the user about the progress of the installer.

-wait [timeout]

A timeout in seconds. In unattended mode, the installer carries out the installation immediately. On Windows®, this can lead to locking errors if the installer is called by an updater or a launcher. If -wait is specified, the installer will wait for all installed launchers and installers (including the updater) to shut down. If this does not happen before the specified timeout, the installer exits with an error message.

-console

On Windows®, allocates a console and displays the installer output. Must be used as -q -console.

The following parameters are used to control installation options:

Parameter

Description

-V [variableName=value]

You can set arbitrary installer variables with the -V parameter. The variable name should be used without a prefix, so if you have a variable called \${installer:variableName} in the GUI, the parameter would be -V variableName=value. The variable will be a String object.

-varfile [fileName]

The property file containing your installation options.
