Create a Deployment Script to Install Workbench for First-Time Users

Users who are new to Workbench for Eclipse will not have Workbench for Eclipse installed. Therefore, the only necessary command is to run the install silently. First-time users may benefit from a pre-configured product as well. The steps below outline both options.

  1. Create a script file, such as a Windows batch file (.bat), that can be used by your deployment tool.
  2. Edit the script file with the following commands to deploy the product for first-time users via a silent install.
  3. Optionally, copy a configured workspace to the users’ default workspace location.
  4. Use a deployment tool to run the script on the machine of each new Workbench for Eclipse user.
Error
Warning

The command to copy the workspace should only be done for first-time users. If a user has been using Workbench for Eclipse, this will overwrite their workspace data.

Information
Example

Here is an example of the commands to perform a silent install copy an initial workspace:

C:\media\cpwr\Topaz\Windows\Disk1\InstData\VM\install.exe -i silent -f
