Sorry for the extended wait everyone, but hopefully it's worth it / here you go!

DWG TrueView 2013 32BIT

DWG TrueView 2013 64BIT

[#2]

I'm sorry to report I'm still getting the same error when deploying the x64 version as discribed in the opening post.

[#3]

Anyone still working on this Philip?

[#4]

Still no fix for this Autodesk?

[#5]

Deploying a batchfile through GPO works for me.

[code]

if exist "%programfiles%\Autodesk\DWG TrueView 2013\dwgviewr.exe" goto eof

start /wait "\\ServerName\Software\AutoCAD Viewer\2013\x64\setup.exe" /q /w /t "\\ServerName\Software\AutoCAD Viewer\2013\x64\setup.ini"

:eof

exit

[/code]

Good luck.

Ofcourse it will work if I run a bat file wich calls the exe. But then you are missing the whole point of deploying the msi to a workstation.

Does anyone of autodesk still reads this topic?

[#7]

Well, Autodesk doesn't respond that much (eg. http://forums.autodesk.com/t5/Installation-Licensing/msi-in-GPO-not-working-quot-Run-Setup-exe-to-in...).

For some dark, mysterious reason, it's impossiple to push the msi directly from your GPO without problems (eg. Computer>Policies>Software Settings>Assigned Applications>dwgviewr.msi with or without transform file), so you might as well give up trying & whining, apply a workaround, do the exotic deployment and focus to your end goal: Trueview deployment.

I've rewritten my batch, with a little improvement.

[code]

:: check for previous installations

if exist "%programfiles%\Autodesk\DWG TrueView 2012\dwgviewr.exe" goto 2012

if exist "%programfiles%\Autodesk\DWG TrueView 2013\dwgviewr.exe" goto eof

:2012

:: remove 2012

msiexec /qn /norestart /x "ServerName\Software\AutoCAD Viewer\2012\x64\x64\dwgviewr\dwgviewr.msi"

:: setup 2013

msiexec /qn /norestart /i "ServerName\Software\AutoCAD Viewer\2013\x64\x64\dwgviewr\dwgviewr.msi"

:eof

exit

[/code]

Good luck.

Thanks for your input. However I do hope someone of Autodesk will read this and will reply

[#9]

As a staunch supporter of PLEASE HIRE MORE MODERATORS to participate in Autodesk discussion groups, I'll  acknowledge here that the new exe appears to work for 64-bit W7.

Good luck with the GPO.

[#10]

This problem still issn't fixed. Is there anyone from Autodesk that can help me with this ?
