This post is from 2010. Products and screens have changed since then, so check the current documentation before you follow these steps.

I’m currently trying to install Impromptu Administrator. But on the net I can’t find any serious document/howto of a silent/unattended installation. So here’s my tutorial. 😉

Sorry for the Dutch screenshots 😉

First we do a manual installation. This will generate the response files. This isn’t documented here 😉 After the installation you have an “ats” file in the following location: installation location\instlog

Copy this file into your installation source. (In the directory Cognos\impa)
Copy this file into your installation source. (In the directory Cognos\impa)

To perform the unattended installation run the following command: issetup.exe /s <location>\ts-impa-version-yyyymmdd-hhmm.ats (of course you can change the name of the ats file ;))
Copy this file into your installation source. (In the directory Cognos\impa) (2) 
Now that the software is installed it must be configured. Start the Configuration Manager on the source machine on which the software is installed manually and correct configured. Click on Start and choose Open the current configuration.
Click on Start and choose Open the current configuration. 
Select Actions and Export Script.
Select Actions and Export Script.
Save the file in the installation source. (in this tutorial configuration.ccp)

To import the configuration file into the machines which are unattended installed. Execute the following command: <local_installation_path>\bin\configcp.exe –t <location>\configuration.ccp
Execute the following command: <local_installation_path>\bin\configcp.exe –t <location>\configuration.ccp
