TrueView 2013 deployment

I have downloaded the newest package with Design Review and TrueView 2013.  I am trying to automate the deployment via batch for SCCM packaging for 1400+ computers in 26 offices.  With all previous versions of the apps I have been able to run the dwgviewr.msi files, but for some reason TrueView will not allow it to be installed via the msi and only when running Setup.exe.  Am I missing something with this version?

Link to the install.

Also if you download the TrueView only install seperately and try to deploy via the msi the same scenario happens were it requires the Setup.exe to install the application.

I'm seeing this as well.

I automatically deployed the MSI file, thinking it would work like the 2012 version and told the GPO to uninstall the previous version first. But when it goes to install the new version, it fails.

 

Now I'm stuffed? Smiley Frustrated

 

The Design Review MSI works fine.

Currently I am calling the ADR msi then I use the below syntax to quielty call the setup.exe for TrueView.  Not preferred (since it technically reruns ADR) but it is working in for a few installs that I need to do right away.  The other 1396 installs can hopefully wait for a better solution.


"%~dp0setup.exe" /w /qb /i %~dp0Setup.ini

%~dp0 = the relative path of the file.

I have made a Transform file (.MST) available here, and also on my website at http://www.barbarianhamster.com/Services/DontRunSetup.zip

The full gory details of how it came about, and what it does, are available on my blog, http://barbarianhamster.blogspot.com

I've been playing around and found the following works so far pretty well...

 

setup.exe /Q /W /I setup.ini

As above. I've just used "%deployment dir%setup.exe" /W /QB /I

Hello,

 

Have any of you tried to do a silent installation (without modifying the MSI) to a different path (i.e. D:\Win32\Autodesk\.."?

 

Regards,

For Design Review and DWG TrueView on Windows 7 64-bit.

 

Figuring out which runtime installs are required is frustrating for 2013. The following are all mentioned in this topic, various blogs, the setup.ini, etc.

 

Surely all of this is not required?

 

  • x86 Visual C++ Runtimes: 2005 SP1 ATL, 2008 SP1, 2010 SP1
  • x64 Visual C++ Runtimes: 2008 SP1, 2010 SP1
  • wmfdist64.exe, NetFx20.exe, msxml6_x64.msi
  • DirectX 9
  • DOTNET4;DOTNET4KB2468871

In the TrueView setup.ini the AOEM prerequisite is listed as:

PREREQUISITE=VCREDIST2008SP1X86;VCREDIST2008SP1X64;VCREDIST2010SP1X86;VCREDIST2010SP1X64;DOTNET20;DIRECTX;MSXML6;WMF95X64

which doesn't even mention .NET 4.0 which the readme specifically says is required including Update 1 being mandatory.

 

In the Design Review Installation guide it mentions VCC2010SP1x86 and .NET 4 but the ADR prerequisite in the TrueView setup.ini lists the following.

PREREQUISITE=VCREDIST2010SP1X86;DOTNET4;DOTNET4KB2468871

 

The main ones I would like to eliminate are:

2005 VC++, MSXML, .NET 2.0, WMFDIST

 

I think the reason why people are listing VCC 2005 is a prerequisite for their deployment system to work rather than for TV or ADR itself. Is that correct? I can't imagine why .NET 2.0 would be listed.

 

Thanks in advance.

Did you try specifying INSTALLDIR=<path> ?  For example...

 

setup.exe /Q /W /I /v"INSTALLDIR=D:\TrueView2013"

 

or (possibly)...

 

setup.exe /Q /W /I setup.ini INSTALLDIR=D:\TrueView2013
