AutoCAD Mechanical 2023 Custom Deployment Installation Stall

[kjwemple]

I have created a custom deployment for AutoCAD Mechanical 2023.  

When I test the deployment, it stalls at 97%.  No errors are seen in the install.log file.

Screenshot is attached.

Have a look at DDA.log, which can be found in folder C:\Users\<name>\AppData\Local\Autodesk\ODIS.

I'll bet is riddled with lines like this:

 The 'solution' in this case is to kill the installer and start it again and repeat that until it actually starts installing.

The progress bar is a joke, as I mentioned in another post. If nothing happens for a while, the installer increases the progress bar anyway until it reaches 97% and will stay there indefinitely. So yeah, that's a real progress indicator.😡

Thanks for reply.

The installer was created as custom install.  There is a bat file where I can configure a silent install.

When i created the installer using the download option, an installer is created; but there are no options to run it as a silent install (e.g. run setup.exe).     Are there some options that i can run this setup.exe from cmd silently?

Edit the bat file that gets created by the deployment. Comment out the line for the basic install using "rem" for REMARK. Then remove the rem on the line for the silent install.
