Command Line
setup.exe -nowait -force -silent -responseFile xyz.rsp

-nowait closes the console window when the silent installation completes, which would otherwise wait for input.

-force allows install to a not empty directory.

you might want to add -waitforcompletion if you want setup.exe to run untill installation completes, instead of forking into javaw.exe

I found that the -waitforcompletion parameter only worked when launching the Oracle Universal Installer (OUI.EXE) directly. SETUP.EXE does not seem to use it.

OUI.EXE is found in the Install folder.

On German Windows XP there is a problem creating response files. They lack the sections containing language selection and selected products to install.

To get around this, you will have to modify install\oraparam.ini. Change NLS_ENABLED=TRUE to NLS_ENABLED=FALSE. After this change response file creating works.

Command Line
-waitforcompletion -nowait -noconsole -force -silent -responseFile <file>

I didn't have any luck with the -waitforcompletion switch when I was using the setup.exe, you may have better luck with the oui.exe. I'm also not sure if you need to -nowait switch as it is for the pause at the end of the installation if your using the console.

The big addition I wanted to add is the -noconsole switch, since the silent switch just removes the gui. With the gui gone, all the output is directed to the console window which is left floating about. The -noconsole switch as its name suggests will prevent the console from being instantiated and the install is then silent.

When deploying a patch like 10.2.0.3.0, you should refrain from recording your own response file for the patchset. Instead use the short and simple sample response file provided in disk1\response. This one rsp will work for deploying the patch on top of all runtime, custom and admin deployments of 10.2.0.1.

Command Line
That little tip about using the alternative setup.exe/oui.exe from the install directory just fixed a problem I'd been having for about a week (i.e. how to get the package script to wait before running some post-installation stuff). Previously I'd been doing all sorts of checks to see when the logfile was created and then killing java.exe

God I hate the OUI.

Command Line
This is what my final solution ended up looking like for a completely silent install using the custom response file:

setup.exe -NOWAIT -NOCONSOLE -FORCE -WAITFORCOMPLETION -SILENT -RESPONSEFILE "c:\Oracle10\Oracle_1\client\response\clientcustom.rsp"

Command Line
This commandline worked for an uninstall:

setup.exe -deinstall -silent -noconsole -force -removeallfiles ORACLE_HOME="PathToHome" REMOVE_HOMES={"PathToHome"}

Note: You have to make the script wait until javaw.exe is done. There are a few files left in %ProgramFiles%\Oracle and the startmenu shortcuts are not removed

Note
In developing a fully silent install for Oracle 10 I ended up using the vendor provided clientcustom.rsp file. In my testing I found that this response file did not install the ODBC portion of the install. After recording a response file I noticed that some entries are missing from for ODBC. Here are the entries that are missing:

# oracle.winprod:10.2.0.1.0 - Oracle ODBC
# oracle.ntoramts:10.2.0.1.0 - Oracle ODBC
# oracle.oo4o:10.2.0.1.0 - Oracle ODBC
# oracle.odbc:10.2.0.1.0 - Oracle ODBC
# oracle.ntoledb:10.2.0.1.0 - Oracle ODBC
# oracle.ntoledb.odp_net:10.2.0.1.0 -Oracle ODBC

My response filed ends up looking like this:

DEPENDENCY_LIST={"oracle.winprod:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.ntoramts:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.oo4o:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.odbc:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.ntoledb:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.ntoledb.odp_net:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.rdbms.util:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.javavm.client:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.sqlplus:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.dbjava.jdbc:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.ldap.client:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.rdbms.oci:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.precomp:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.xdk:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.swd.opatch:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.network.aso:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.oem.client:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.oraolap.mgmt:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.network.client:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.ordim.client:10.2.0.1.0","oracle.ons:10.1.0.3.0", "oracle.has.client:10.2.0.1.0"}

Command Line
Installation Command Line:
---------------------------

OUI.exe -NOWAIT -NOCONFIG -NOCONSOLE -FORCE -WAITFORCOMPLETION -SILENT -RESPONSEFILE "C:\Source\Response\clientadmin.rsp"

OR

Setup.exe -NOWAIT -NOCONFIG -NOCONSOLE -FORCE -WAITFORCOMPLETION -SILENT -RESPONSEFILE "C:\Source\Response\clientadmin.rsp"

(Both Oui.exe and Setup.exe worked fine for me. However, I feel using Oui.exe is better as it wait untill the installation completes. Where as Setup.exe disappears soon after the initial installation triggers).


Uninstallation Command Line:
-----------------------------

Setup.exe -deinstall -silent -noconsole -force -removeallfiles ORACLE_HOME="HomeName" REMOVE_HOMES={"PathToHome"}

Setup.exe can be found from the installed files in the destination machine. Eg: C:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\Client_1\OUI\Bin\Setup.exe

HomeName is the name of the Oracle Client installed in the machine. Eg: "OraClient10g_home1"

PathToHome is the path where the Oracle files are installed in the destination machine. Eg: "C:\Oracle\Product\10.2.0\Client_1"

(The values of "HomeName" and "PathToHome" may vary according to the different Oracle products installed in to the machine.

Note
I install to C:\oracle or C:\oracle64 pending the client bitness. In Windows 7, remember to choose the correct ODBC control panel. There is a different ODBC panel for 32-bit hidden in syswow64. •After installation, you will need to run C:\oracle64\product\11.2.0\client_1\instantclient\odbc_install.exe by right clicking it and running it as administrator. It will display a brief DOS prompt and you can click to say the program installed correctly. •Run C:/Windows/system32/odbcad.exe •Change to the System DSN tab. •Choose the appropriate connection (created by the KACE installation if you used my registry notes) and click configure. •You can enter the username for the connection if it is not already filled in. Use the following for the DSN propeties if you want to use the Oracle ODBC with Access or Excel: •On the Application tab, make sure only the following boxes are checked: •Enable Result Sets •Enable Query Timeout •Read-Only Connection •Enable Thread Saftey •On the Oracle tab, make sure only the following boxes are checked: •Enable LOBs •Enable Statement Caching •Enable Failover •Still on the Oracle tab, make the following changes to settings: •The Fetch Buffer Size should be equal to or greater than 128000. •The Cache Buffer Size should be equal to or greater than 2000. •The Enable Failover Retry and Delay settings should both equal 10. •On the Workarounds tab, make sure only the following boxes are checked: •Bind TIMESTAMP as DATE •Bind NUMBER as FLOAT •Disable RULE hint •It is extremely important to uncheck Disable Microsoft Transaction Server on the Workarounds tab. This is selected by default and significantly slows down linked table queries through Access.'

@Nate630:

Thanks for the script, it helped me a lot! Nearing the end of the installation though, there are 2 pop-ups with the MSIexec help screen. I've looked through the script and the installer files, but there's no reference of an MSI or msiexec, so where does this come from?

I just like to add: Contrary to what most people seem to say, I found repacking a lot better than using it's own unattended setup. It's fairly easy to repackage Oracle into a MSI and afterwards the deployment gives far less trouble (the setup always seems to find a excuse to fail again)
