Table 3. Warnings and blocks (continued) Warning or block Solution MDAC and ODBC. If the correct MDAC and ODBC drivers are not installed on your computer, the Setup wizard installs version 2.7 of the Microsoft Data Access Components (MDAC) and Open Database Connectivity (ODBC) drivers. For more information, read Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 216149. Performing a silent installation A silent installation uses the same parameters to install a Rational software product on one or more computers without using the interactive user interface. Overview of silent installation Your administrator can set up a site defaults file so that many users can perform unattended installations of a product with the same parameters. The site defaults file directs the Setup wizard to install program files in a specific directory on your computer. For information about setting up a silent installation, see "Setting up silent installations of IBM Rational products" on page 13. When you start the silent installation, you do not see any installation screens. If required, your computer restarts automatically, and you must log on again. When the installation finishes, you do not see a screen that indicates the installation is complete. If your administrator did not specify the license server in the site defaults file or if you are using a node-locked license key, you might have to configure licensing manually after the Setup wizard finishes. For more information, see "Licensing your software" on page 24. Running a silent installation To run a silent installation, your administrator must give you the following information: v The path to the site defaults file and the file setup.exe in the release area or shortcut to the site defaults file. (The shortcut does not have a .dat file extension). v The installation directory in the Setup wizard, which installs the files on your desktop. v License key information, if necessary. Also, verify that you have removed all previous versions of Rational products. Users who install silently do not see the warning message to remove these products. The installation does not proceed until all of these products are removed. This warning message is saved in the installation log file. Examine this file if the installation fails. Note: If you perform the silent installation, but do not have administrator rights on the machine, there is no indication that the product installation has failed. To use the site defaults file in silent mode: 1. (Optional) Map a local drive to the release area. 22 IBM Rational Rose: Installation Guide

Performing
a
silent
installation
A
silent
installation
uses
the
same
parameters
to
install
a
Rational
software
product
on
one
or
more
computers
without
using
the
interactive
user
interface.
Overview
of
silent
installation
Your
administrator
can
set
up
a
site
defaults
file
so
that
many
users
can
perform
unattended
installations
of
a
product
with
the
same
parameters.
The
site
defaults
file
directs
the
Setup
wizard
to
install
program
files
in
a
specific
directory
on
your
computer.
For
information
about
setting
up
a
silent
installation,
see
“Setting
up
silent
installations
of
IBM
Rational
products”
on
page
13.
When
you
start
the
silent
installation,
you
do
not
see
any
installation
screens.
If
required,
your
computer
restarts
automatically,
and
you
must
log
on
again.
When
the
installation
finishes,
you
do
not
see
a
screen
that
indicates
the
installation
is
complete.
If
your
administrator
did
not
specify
the
license
server
in
the
site
defaults
file
or
if
you
are
using
a
node-locked
license
key,
you
might
have
to
configure
licensing
manually
after
the
Setup
wizard
finishes.
For
more
information,
see
“Licensing
your
software”
on
page
24.
Running
a
silent
installation
To
run
a
silent
installation,
your
administrator
must
give
you
the
following
information:
v
The
path
to
the
site
defaults
file
and
the
file
setup.exe
in
the
release
area
or
shortcut
to
the
site
defaults
file.
(The
shortcut
does
not
have
a
.dat
file
extension).
v
The
installation
directory
in
the
Setup
wizard,
which
installs
the
files
on
your
desktop.
v
License
key
information,
if
necessary.
Also,
verify
that
you
have
removed
all
previous
versions
of
Rational
products.
Users
who
install
silently
do
not
see
the
warning
message
to
remove
these
products.
The
installation
does
not
proceed
until
all
of
these
products
are
removed.
This
warning
message
is
saved
in
the
installation
log
file.
Examine
this
file
if
the
installation
fails.
Note:
If
you
perform
the
silent
installation,
but
do
not
have
administrator
rights
on
the
machine,
there
is
no
indication
that
the
product
installation
has
failed.
To
use
the
site
defaults
file
in
silent
mode:
1.
(Optional)
Map
a
local
drive
to
the
release
area.
