How to install FlexSim silently through command line?

[yasharahmadov]

[ FlexSim 23.0.2 ]

I would like to run my FlexSim model inside a Docker container. Therefore I need to be able to install FlexSim through command line silently. After searching all over internet, I could not find a feasible solution. Please let me know if there is any workaround for this.

In the account´s downloads section you can find an .msi installer which allows for a silent installation in general (I do not know how about Docker containers).

Look at this post: https://answers.flexsim.com/questions/107374/msi-file-for-flexsim-202107-lts.html

Additionally, there's an example of installing FlexSim within a Docker container in the FlexSimAI project on GitHub:

https://github.com/flexsim/FlexSimAI/blob/main/bonsai/samples/ChangeoverTimes/Dockerfile

FROM winamd64/python:3-windowsservercore-1809

WORKDIR /src

# Copy files to image
COPY ./installer ./installer

# Install FlexSim
RUN msiexec /i installer\FlexSim_22.1.0_x64.msi INSTALLDIR=C:\FlexSim /passive /norestart
