Not able to install WebSphere setup.exe using PowerShell

Installing WebSphere using the setup.exe file can be done using PowerShell by running the installer as a subprocess. Here's an example of how you can do it:

powershellCopy code
$setupPath = "C:\Path\to\setup.exe"

$installDir = "C:\IBM\WebSphere"



$processInfo = New-Object System.Diagnostics.ProcessStartInfo

$processInfo.FileName = $setupPath

$processInfo.WorkingDirectory = $installDir

$processInfo.UseShellExecute = $true



# Start the installation process

$process = [System.Diagnostics.Process]::Start($processInfo)

$process.WaitForExit()



# Check the exit code of the installer

if ($process.ExitCode -eq 0) {

    Write-Host "Installation completed successfully."

} else {

    Write-Host "Installation failed with exit code $($process.ExitCode)."

}

In this example, you need to specify the path to the setup.exe file ($setupPath) and the desired installation directory ($installDir). The script creates a ProcessStartInfo object and sets the necessary properties for running the installer. Then, it starts the installation process and waits for it to complete. Finally, it checks the exit code of the installer to determine whether the installation was successful or not.

Make sure to replace the $setupPath and $installDir variables with the actual paths in your environment.

Note: You may need to run the PowerShell script with elevated privileges (Run as Administrator) if the installer requires administrative access.
