Problems with Silent Network install using values in Appsetup.inf

I'm having a problem where I can't seem to use any switches to silently run the AutoCad 2002 network client install. When I use a sample installation script found at http://www3.autodesk.com/adsk/files/874853_Extnsns_WP_MSIscripts.pdf It does not show how to pass certain paramaters, as can be found in the appsetup.inf that the SETUP.EXE invaritably uses to launch the MSI. Is there any documentation on how someone can pass variables such as the following; AcadServerValue (location of network server and its MAC address) or NetDeployType, etc.. It would be ideal for me to just launch the SETUP in a silent mode, but it doesn't seem to accept a /q /s or -q -s, or anything I can think of, and when wrapped with WISE/SMS and told to be run in a hidden state, it has no effect as it is just spawning MSIEXEC and presumably using variables parsed from the appsetup.inf file. Anyone solved this riddle, or know where I can find more thorough documentation of the syntax I can use ?

have you checked out
href="http://www.appdeploy.com">www.appdeploy.com
, it has a large section on
autodesk applications.

That looks like that would work well for 2004, is there anyway I can use a transform (MST) file for a 2002 network installation ? If I launch the MSI with a bunch a parameters, or in a VBS script, how will it find the licensing server as shown in the appsetup.inf ?

Paul,

 

You can't do this through 2002 and
appsetup.inf.  These are enhancements and changes that are part of
2004.
