Silent Installation of NetBeans 6.0.1

Contrary to what the documentation says, you can create a command line or silent installation for NetBeans 6.0.1.

Use the "create a redistributable bundle" parameter (which is to be used when you are not connected to the network):

netbeans-6.0.1-ml-windows.exe --create-bundle NewBundleName.jar

Then use the "record" parameter to create the state.xml:

NewBundleName.exe --record c:\tmp\state.xml

You can create the state.xml file anywhere on the computer where you are running the record parameter. Then you can copy the state.xml file to the desired location on a Server.

The state.xml is used with the "silent" parameter so the command for performing silent installation is the following :

NewBundleName.exe --silent --state state.xml
