Hi @Gauri Shankar Choudhary ! Welcome to the Atlassian Community!

From this doc, Unattended Installation is available on a later version of Confluence such as 9.0. https://confluence.atlassian.com/doc/unattended-installation-838416261.html

Usually, unattended installation is done to re-install Confluence.  You can do it on first-time installations, but you must define the response.varfile.

What does your response.varfile look like?

I have already install atlassian-confluence-9.0.1-x64.exe and try to update atlassian-confluence-9.0.2-x64.exe and using below command, But its not working.  

atlassian-confluence-9.0.2-x64.exe -q -varfile response.varfile.

response.varfile content : 
# install4j response file for Confluence 9.0.1
app.install.service$Boolean=true
executeLauncherAction$Boolean=true
existingInstallationDir=C\:\\Program Files\\Confluence
launch.application$Boolean=true
sys.adminRights$Boolean=true
sys.installationDir=C\:\\Program Files\\Confluence
sys.languageId=en
sys.programGroupName=Confluence

I think I know why it's not working.

If you're changing versions of Confluence, that's not a re-install, that's an upgrade.  It's a different process for an upgrade, one that I don't think is supported with unattended installation.

Hi @Gauri Shankar Choudhary and welcome to the community.

The instruction page you referenced is for Data Center v5.9. Is this the version you are trying to install? 

I noticed that when I looked at the same page for the current version (9.0), the command you use is different. You can go to the page you referenced and select the version you want to install in the Data Center dropdown at the top to get to the equivalent page.
