Installation & Licensing

[#1]

Hello,

Does autocad supports silent install with no user interaction?

I want to install the app in Deutch language, to include Design Review 2011, all features + the Service Pack( product update 1.1)

How can i do that?

Thanks.

Yes creating deployment image would be the best option; here you include Update 1.1( please use append option while creating image to add the update)

Or you could script it as well; which would need the pre-requisites installed seperately.

Thank you for the script, i still need to manage to install the app in Deutch, is ther a language parameter? or how can i change the language.

[#4]

The Languages are mentioned in the script

 de-DE = Deutchland German

If you want the German version of the documents you can get it here (replacing ENU with DEU in the URL; this is applicable most Autodesk 2011 help files)

many thanks,

i have installed the application using this command, this is with no UI

strInstCommandLine = """" & strCurrentDir & "\setup.exe" & """" & " /w /t /qb" & " " & "/Language" & " " & "de-DE" & " " & "/c ACADLT:" & " " & "INSTALLDIR=" & """C:\Program Files\Autodesk\AutoCAD LT 2011 de-DE\""" & " " & "ACADFIRSTNAME=" & """PC""" & " " & "ACADLASTNAME=" & """User""" & " " & "ACADORGANIZATION=" & """NAME""" and the parameters for the license

Using this command allows users to click cancel installation, and "qb!" =  no cancel button is not working, is there another solution to hide the cancel button?

 /q or /qn should be completely silent.

if wish to see some progress bar you could try /passive along with /qb (i haven't tested these)

[#7]

what parameter can i pass to  the setup to remove the desktop shortcut permanently?

[#8]

It would be best to use Deployment image to control these behaviour.

if you really want MSI parameters. (I havent tested these)

Please try

ADSK_DESKTOPSHORTCUT_1=0

and

ADSK_DESKTOPSHORTCUT_2=0
