Creating a custom or silent installation

AppScan® Source includes a graphical Installation Configuration Wizard that an administrator can use to create a silent (noninteractive) installation or a custom graphical installation.

When the administrator runs the installer to create a custom installation, a new configuration properties file is generated. This properties file is then available for use by the AppScan Source installer.

The Installation Configuration Wizard can modify an existing configuration file or create a new configuration file. The wizard provides the ability to customize the installation by defining:

  • If the installation is interactive or silent.
  • Available components for installation (available for interactive installations only).
  • Default component selection (available for interactive installations only).
  • Which components are mandatory or automatically installed.
  • Default installation folder.
  • Default language packs to install.
  • The license file or license server to be used.
  • User account to be used by AppScan Source for Automation (if it is selected as a component or available component for installation).
Note: If you create a custom silent installation, it will not succeed when running on any Turkish language locale (for example, tr and tr_TR).
