The installation programs read the settings for your configuration from an xml file.(silent.xml)

server10.3_win32.exe -mode=silent -silent.xml=c:\bea10.3\silent.xml  -log=c:\10.3\silent.log

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?>

<bea-installer>

<input-fields>

<data-value name="BEAHOME" value="C:\bea10.3" />

<data-value name="USER_INSTALL_DIR" value="C:\bea10.3\wlserver_10.3" />

</input-fields>

</bea-installer>

Step 2: Save this file as silent.xml file in C:\bea10.3 folder

Step 3: Copy the WebLogic software under C:\bea10.3 folder

Step 4: Create a sub folder wlserver_10.3 under c:\bea10.3

server103_win32.exe -mode=silent -silent_xml=C:\bea10.3\ silent.xml  -log=C:\10.3\silent.log
