Silent Installation

JReport provides .properties files for installing JReport Designer silently without user participation in the installation process on Windows, Unix and Linux.

To install JReport Designer silently:

  1. Get the file DesignerInstall.properties used for silent JReport Designer installation from Jinfonet Support and put it to the directory where the JReport Designer installation file is saved.
  2. Edit DesignerInstall.properties to suit your requirements.
  3. Run the following command, and JReport Designer will be installed in the designated path:

    $ ./jrdesigner.exe -i silent -f DesignerInstall.properties

    Or

    $ ./jrdesigner.exe LAX_VM "USER_JAVA_HOME\bin\java.exe" -i silent -f DesignerInstall.properties (recommended)

    Change jrdesigner.exe to the real file name of the installation file.

Note: When installing JReport Designer silently, make sure you do not use overwrite installation, instead install it to a new directory.

To install JReport Designer Update or Service Pack silently:

Edit the file update.properties in <install_root>\help\samples\SilentInstall to your own requirements. This file is used to create an option file (that is, response file) for the installation wizard. It predefines all the information that is required for the installation.

You can also create a property file and save it as follows:

USER_INSTALL_DIR=<Designer_Install_Root>
USER_KEY=UID
USER_PASSWORD=Password

Modify the above lines according to your own environment and configurations.
