Hello everyone!

Thanks and sorry for bad english.

Three things:

1. AutoCAD is a very expensive program and used for VERY special purposes so it isn't that common to install. Do you even know what kind of installer it uses? Screenshot perhaps of one of the screens...

2. DON'T BUMP YOUR THREAD AFTER ONLY 4 HOURS!!!

3. The REPORT button on the bottom of the post is meant to notify moderators of FORUM RULES VIOLATIONS, not that you want attention to your topic.

I'm sorry!

You could try this in your RunOnceEx

REG ADD %KEY%\044 /VE /D "AutoCad 2004" /f
REG ADD %KEY%\044 /V 1 /D "%systemdrive%\Install\Autodesk\AutoCad2004\ACAD.MSI /qb ACAD_SILENT_LICENSE=YES" /f

This works for my AutoCad 2004 unattended install

Or

Try to modify the msi installer with "Orca" (it comes with the MicroSoft SDK package)

Hope this will help you

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

The AutoCAD CD comes with a tool to modify network installs, which can be made to run silently as Smurf says. No need for Orca, as the tool is right there on the CD. Even AutoCAD LT has this ability, with some limitations.

Best,

Sorry.

What is name of this tool on Autocad CD?

And how can i find the Smurf's saying?

Thanks.

All tools can be found in the support section of your AutoCad CD.

I only use Orca to add my personal settings in advance, like name, company name, serialprefix and serial number.

I try to use following code to unattended install AutoCAD 2005:

ACAD.MSI /qb ACAD_SILENT_LICENSE=YES

But AutoCAD 2006 can't.

I found i can use following step to unattended install AutoCAD 2006:

Run cdrom:\Bin\acadFeui\support\AdNIW\setup.exe to get MST file.

switch: AdminImage\deploy.exe "MST file name"

Regards.
