I do all my installs silently and it works great. Here is the contents of my batch file (installcf.bat):
coldfusion-702-win.exe -f silent.properties and then here is the contents of silent.properties (make sure its named exactly that!): # Install is silent INSTALLER_UI=SILENT # # License information - full | trial | developer SILENT_LICENSE_MODE=developer # # Configuration - standalone | jrun | ear | war SILENT_INSTALLER_TYPE=standalone # # Components to install SILENT_INSTALL_ODBC=true SILENT_INSTALL_VERITY=false SILENT_INSTALL_SAMPLES=false # (UNIX only) whether to start CFMX7 when booting SILENT_CONFIGURE_SYSTEM_INIT=false # # Directories SILENT_INSTALL_FOLDER=C:/CFUSIONMX7 # EAR/WAR only SILENT_VERITY_INSTALL_FOLDER= # # Context root SILENT_CONTEXT_ROOT= # # Runtime user for UNIX SILENT_RUNTIME_USER= # # ColdFusion administrator password SILENT_ADMIN_PASSWORD=password # # Flash forms - EAR/WAR only SILENT_FLEX_ENABLED=true # # Enable RDS and password SILENT_ENABLE_RDS=false SILENT_RDS_PASSWORD= You might need to tweak a few of the parameters depending on OS, license mode, etc. Make sure the mx installer, bat file, and silent.properties file are all in the same folder when you run it. You will not see much happening so you might want to watch your task manager to watch when cpu processing drops meaning the install is done (~5mins depending on cpu speed). After that, run the web connector. If you are trying to use the latest version of apache w/ cfmx, you'll need to download the upgraded version of wsconfig from adobe's site. good luck!
