Silent Install OptionRunning the Install in Silent ModePlease note that the silent installation is recommended for CADzation clients that own +25 licenses of CADzation software. For the most current silent installation instructions please visit the following link on the CADzation web site: http://www.cadzation.com/silentinstall.htm
CADzation software is MSI install based and you can pass the /qn variable through the setup to make our applications install silently.
Note that it will most likely reboot the computer when the install is finished.
setupname.exe /v" /qn"
If you would like to supress the reboot then you can use:.
setupname.exe /v"REBOOT=ReallySupress /qn"
If you want to make it completely silent and also hide the initial setupname.exe progress dialog, then you can use the /s switch:.
setupname.exe /s /v"REBOOT=ReallySupress /qn"
Using the MSI Public VariablesThere are several Public Variables that can be passed to the exe to control the options in the setup. To pass these you either pass 1 to turn it on or 0 to turn it off.
APADD_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT - This controls if the desktop shortcut is created for all users. Default=1.
APADD_ADMIN_SHORTCUT - This controls if the AcroPlot Admin shortcut is created for all users. Default=1. You may want to turn this off so users do not try to change the file name filtering and the AutoCAD menu options.
APADD_REGISTRATION_SHORTCUT - This controls if the Registration shortcut is created for all users. Default=1. You may want to turn this off so the users do not run it.
APPATH - This lets you pass the name of the folder where you have common files located that you would like to have installed instead of the defaults. These files include the settings files, the titrules.rsl for custom naming filtering, and the cadzationsoftware.txt file for multi user licenses. You must wrap the pathname in a backslash followed by a quote.
APPATH=\"Z:\Some Folder\Data\"
For example, if you want to add the desktop shortcut, then run the EXE from a batch file and pass the parameters using the /V command line switch and wrap it in quotes.
setupname.exe /s /V"REBOOT=ReallySupress /qn APADD_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=1 APADD_ADMIN_SHORTCUT=0 APPATH=\"Z:\Some Folder\Data\""
If you don't want to add the desktop shortcut, then the correct parameter would be:
setupname.exe /s /V"REBOOT=ReallySupress /qn APADD_DESKTOP_SHORTCUT=0 APADD_ADMIN_SHORTCUT=0 APPATH=\"Z:\Some Folder\Data\""
