Autodesk Design Review in Silent Mode

[steveh3]

Gang...

We have a home brewed application which looks at an item in Vault, grabs the corresponding dwf, opens it in Design Review and prints it to a pdf. Once and while Design Review hits an older or corrupted dwf and can't open it. Thus a dialog pops up on the server which is doing the leg work saying that Design Review can't open the file and stops the application. Is there a way or another viewer which will allow the dialog boxes to be siilent or not rely on user intervention when it hits one of these files? Basically would like Design Review to run in silent mode.

Thoughts/Guidance?

Thanks in Advance,

Steve H.

Thanks Dean...but not actually looking for the installation of DR to be silent which I think is what you linked me to ...... But....

Actually the operation of the app and when we are batch creating pdf's from a dwf. When DR hits a dwf that it has issue with, it pops up a window letting you know that the file is incompatible. Only way to proceed on to the next file is to hit OK on the dialog box.

Looking for a way to avoid the dialog box or somehow proceed without human intervention. It would skip the problem file and continue on to the next.

Can you post/upload such a "dwf with issues", that I can see ...
