CMD line options for installing DWG Trueview

[Anonymous]

Is there documentation available for installing DWG TrueView 2019 via the command line?

Im interesting on installing it this way with some parameters to customise the install like not putting the shortcut on all users desktop & running it silently.

thanks

Welcome to the Autodesk User's Community..

I could be wrong but I don't think the free viewers from Autodesk pay attnetion to any settings.  Meaning its install one way..

However I will tag @m_latz for input..

I have not tried / looked at yet. But I suppose it is a solution available.

At the moment I download the installation packages and will check / test tomorrow.

Okay just tried and it works as for TrueView 2018.

See here for further details:

https://forums.autodesk.com/t5/installation-licensing/trueview-2018-without-the-shortcut/m-p/7072062...

The transformation also works for TrueView 2019.

If you need other adjustments and you do not know how to create/modify transformations let me know.

To install silently use i.e.:

setup.exe /q /I setup.ini /language en-us

For further options for "setup.exe" see the link from Natasha.

Good info - thanks!

Is there an MSI installer available for TrueView 2019? I can only see a .exe

thanks

What you download from Autodesk is a self extracting compressed file which extracts the contents to C:\Autodesk\... (default location).

There you have a "setup.exe" file which reads the "installations instructions" from the setup.ini file in the same folder.

The TrueView 2019 installation is a msi file which you can call directly. But you need a lot of prerequisites (runtimes needed to run TrueView 2019).

This is the part of the setup.exe to check which runtime is needed and install if necessary, etc.

Hi, I am using a KACE deployment appliance to install DWG True View 2019 silently; using associated file
DWGTrueView_2019_Enu_64bit.sfx.exe

The setup extraction launches, using the following command line.  The issue I am having is that, I am prompted for the install path and other UI.
setup.exe /q /I setup.ini /language en-us
