network MSI for 2000i

[nobled]

I'm trying to create a MSI file for AutoCAD 2000i, AutoCAD Map 2000i, and LDD 2000i using network licensing that will be automated (no UI) so I can apply it to the computer's Group Policy in Active Directory on my Windows 2000 server. I already have an automated setup.exe file on the server, but I was wondering if there is a way to create a MSI file so it will install while the computer boots.

MSI/GPO support was introduced in AutoCAD 2004, I
do not know of a way to make this work with prior releases of AutoCAD.

Hi,

First make a network deployment.

in the image folder you will find Acad.msi, deploy this using GPO. It worked
for us...
