Here are some notes I have written for myself for installation of VAC 3.6.5. I am sure that you can "translate" this info to your specific installation needs. The idea is to not only use the CID response file but also dynamically update the installation path(s). The drive and path variables "InstDrv1","InstDrv2","InstDir1","InstDir2" are specific to the base response file. You will need to find these variables for your specific product:
C. Invoking installation directly through an installation object
I have reworked and modified PORTAPAK.RSP (on your VAC 3.6.5 installation CD-ROM) so that it can also be used
to create an installation object.
You create an installation object via CLIFI.EXE (it is installed on every OS/2 machine) once you have burned a new
CD-ROM from the original CD-ROM and these patches.
For what follows, assume this:
a.) your CD-ROM is drive V:
b.) you want VAC 3.6.5 installed to drive D: and directory IBMC365
c.) you want the OS/2 toolkit installed to drive E: and directory TOOLKIT
echo /O:ROOT >parms.txt
echo /SET:InstDrv1=D: >> parms.txt
echo /SET:InstDrv2=E: >> parms.txt
echo /SET:InstDir1=IBMC365 >> parms.txt
echo /SET:InstDir2=TOOLKIT >> parms.txt
echo /SET:PackagedFromPath=V:\COMPILER >> parms.txt
echo /SET:ImageMediaPath=V:\COMPILER >>parms.txt
echo /R:V:\COMPILER\PORTAPAK.RSP >>parms.txt
echo /S:V:\COMPILER >>parms.txt
clifi.exe /A:B /F:"<WP_DESKTOP>" /PARMS:parms.txt
The installation object is created on your desktop. If you open it you can select/deselect the individual features to
install. After installation you can either delete the object or keep it around somewhere if you want to install later on.
During installation, you are asked to specify the "Source Media": just reenter the path: V:\COMPILER
