Error with silent install

Hi,

I want to intall matlab with the silent install. How do you do this silent install ? I fail because I have a problem with license. I don't register Matlab during this installation. I enclosed the .log of the fail installation :

## Instructions for using this file.
##
## 1. Create a copy of this template file and fill in the required 
##    information.  
##
## 2. Uncomment only those lines that start with a single '#'
##    and set the desired values. All allowed values for the 
##    parameters are defined in the comments section for each

##
## 3. Launch the installer from the command line, using the -inputFile option
##    to specify the name of your installer initialization file. 
##
##    (Windows) setup.exe -inputFile 
##    (Mac/Unix) install -inputFile 
##
## NOTE: 
##    If you want to run the activation application in silent
##    mode immediately after the installer completes, you must create
##    an activation initialization file and specify its name as the
##    value of the activationPropertiesFile= option. You can also
##    pass the name of the activation initialization file to the
##    installer using the -activationPropertiesFile command line

Thank to help me. Friendly, Quentin Vallin.

PS : Sorry for my bad english, I'm French

I am closing this question for two reasons. First, it looks like you have posted a minimally changed piece of copyrighted MATLAB material. Second, installation questions are best addressed by TMW. Please contact them directly.

Answer 1

[C.J. Harris]

You left the file installation key section blank. You therefore need to add you key and uncomment the line (by removing the # symbol). From your code:

##
## SPECIFY FILE INSTALLATION KEY 
##
## Example: fileInstallationKey=xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx-xxxxx.....
##
## Set the desired value for fileInstallationKey and 
## uncomment the line.
##

# fileInstallationKey=

[Jan]

In other words: No file installation key, no installation.

Answer 2

[Quentin]

Hello,

I haven't a key like xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx. I use the network activation with the .dat license file.

Friendly,

Quentin Vallin

[Jan]

As far as I remember, the File-Installation-Key and the network activation are different fields. And usually the shipped licence file is accompanied by the FIK. If not, contact your local Matlab distributor and ask for help. Even the technical support of TMW answers questions about the installation reliably.

[Daniel Shub]

@Jan there are now silent install and silent activation scripts so that you can install but not activate. It seems like Quentin is prepared to activate but not install.

Answer 3

[Quentin]

No one have the soluce ?
