I can't get VoloView Express 2 to install "silently," as the readme and several posts on here have indicated is possible. According to the readme, it's like this: vve2setup.exe -a /* -l*v %TEMP%\VVEInstall.log -i voloviewexpress.msi /qb INSTALLDIR="c:\Program Files\Volo View Express" ACAD_SILENT_LICENSE=YES According to people who said that doesn't work, it's like this: vve2setup.exe /* /l*v %TEMP%\VVEInstall.log /i voloviewexpress.msi /qb INSTALLDIR="c:\Program Files\Volo View Express" ACAD_SILENT_LICENSE=YES yet in either case, it's hardly silent, it just runs the normal installation. A little help? --Jeremiah
Try this instead: msiexec.exe /I voloviewexpress.msi /qb! INSTALLDIR=""c:\Program Files\Volo View Express"" ACAD_SILENT_LICENSE=YES -- Best Regards, Jimmy Bergmark CAD and Database Developer Manager at www.pharmadule-emtunga.com Take a look at JTB FlexReport (FLEXlm report tool) - www.jtbworld.com/jtbflexreport SmartPurger (Purges automatically) - www.jtbworld.com/?/smartpurger.htm or download some freeware at www.jtbworld.com More on AutoCAD 2005; www.jtbworld.com/autocad2005.htm several posts on here have indicated is possible. INSTALLDIR="c:\Program Files\Volo View Express" ACAD_SILENT_LICENSE=YES INSTALLDIR="c:\Program Files\Volo View Express" ACAD_SILENT_LICENSE=YES
yeah, i was trying to get it to work from just the executable, hopefully not having to extract anything. in the case anyone out there is searching this newsgroup for the answer: you'll need to use WinRAR or similar to extract the voloviewexpress.msi and associated .cab files into a folder somewhere. then just fire: msiexec /i voloviewexpress.msi /liwe voloinstall.log /qb INSTALLDIR="c:\program files\volo view" ACAD_SILENT_LICENSE=YES which actually does work. --Jeremiah
er, and further on that. you don't need *all* of those switches, such as logging and such. see here for an explanation of msiexec switches: http://www.microsoft.com/resources/documentation/windows/xp/all/proddocs/en-us/msiexec.mspx --J
