How to do silent install of developer edition (i.e., with no regkey)?

I'm trying to do a silent install of the Developer Edition, 17.0.0.1358, under linux, but since the Developer Edition no longer requires a registration key, I'm struggling with how to specify the -regkey parameter

The command:

sudo setup -silent -I_accept_the_license_agreement -type create

produces

A registration key must be provided to use the silent install. Please specify
a valid registration key and try again.
Cleaning up ...

and the command:

sudo setup -silent -I_accept_the_license_agreement -type create -regkey ''

produces:

The registration key provided is invalid. Please verify that you have entered
the key correctly and try again.
Cleaning up ...

Any suggestions?

2	Unfortunately, the Linux installer has a bug which prevents silent installs of the Developer Edition. There is no work around. This bug will be fixed in the next SP. permanent link answered 01 Mar '16, 15:30 Bill Allwright 316●3●8 accept rate: 50% flat view
