NOTES CLIENT INSTALLATION AND SMART UPGRADE

Providing a batch file for installing the Notes client
Creating and then providing a batch file that executes the command to perform a silent install is convenient for users. Users can easily install the IBM® Lotus® Notes® client by running the batch file.

Create a batch file

To create a batch file, perform the following steps:

1. Open a text editor.

2. Type the desired silent install command syntax in the edit window: An example is shown below.


3. Save the file using a .bat file extension in the name, for example BATCHINSTALL.BAT. Save the file in the same directory that contains the installation image (the directory in which the Lotus Notes install setup.exe or setup.sh resides).

For information about command line syntax options, see Automating client installation.
