Anyone who have 3DMAX7 swithces for silent installation ?

i can get it to install after extracting it from the zip files using:

3dsmaxsetup.exe /quiet

but have to register it after as it installs the default serial number

is there a way to silently register it?

You could try AutoIt but if I remember rightly the authorisation code is hardware dependent so you are unlikely to succeed fully.

Probably easier to silent install and put the registration numbers etc in a folder to be dumped to My Documents or similar where they can be found easily after install.

Here's mine :

msiexec /I \\SERVER\Max7\Installs\3dsmax\3dsmax.msi PIDKEY=XXX-XXXXXXX LICENSETYPE=0 LICENSESERVER=SERVER INSTALLDIR=c:\3dsmax7 /q

**Note that this installation is server based

Hope it helps

would there be a switch for the installation which is not server based?

copie the file in xxxxxx.dat ( C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autodesk\Software Licenses ) them places it in the same Dir

whith autoit script, file.bat etc
