Architecture 2022 Silent Install Issue

[wy_swadmin]

I am trying to set up a silent install using the following command:

<path-to-deployment-files>.\image\installer.exe -i deploy --offline_mode -q -o image\collection.xml --installer_version "1.18.0.25"

Every time I run this command I get an Open File Security window (which obviously I am trying to avoid with a silent install) that want to open the following file: <path-to-deployment-files>\image\setup\processlauncher.exe (see attached image).

If I go ahead and select Run on this Open File Security window Architecture will install just fine; if I select Cancel it obviously stops the install.

Also I tried to create a .iss file but apparently the engineers decided not to support this?

What am I doing wrong?

You need Administrator rights to install.

I am running it in an elevated command line.  

Most recent response from Autodesk support:

Thanks for the update. I was actually just working with a user who was having the same exact issue, but using a deployment software called PDQ. Calling out the installer.exe over the network would cause a silent install to be interrupted by the ProcessLauncher.exe.

Windows is essentially stopping this .exe in its tracks and requiring this to have a more significant level of permission than usual, because it is over the network.

What happens if you try to have the image stored locally (have the installer.exe locally stored) and then use it that way? We noticed it removed whatever security protocol was prompting the verification for ProcessLauncher.exe and proceeded with the silent install just fine.

I am going to try this just to see, but a local install is certainly not a solution for me.  I wish to use this as an application in MECM.

Thanks,

Mike

I had a customer with a somewhat similar problem and could solve it with the reg file at Open File Security Warning - Enable or Disable - Windows 7 Help Forums (sevenforums.com)

I just tried these solutions and for some reason am still getting the Open File Security window.  This is really becoming quite puzzling.

Thanks,
