Silent Installs
- Winzip Self-extractors: [filename].exe /auto <directory>
- MikTex: [basic miktex installer].exe --shared --unattended
- Texmaker: texmakerwin32_install.exe /S
- Ghostscript: gs902w32.exe /S
- COMSOL: setup.exe -s [setupfile].ini
- Version 4.2: Must copy com.comsol.resources_1.0.0.jar (created during install of software) to /plugins directory of install media. Silent install fails without it.
- Cadence: setup.exe !quiet=silentinstall.ini
- Cadence hotfix: [hotfixfile].exe -s setup.iss
- Use [hotfixfile].exe -r to create setup.iss response file
- Cadence hotfix: [hotfixfile].exe -s setup.iss
- Quartus II:
- Synopsys Saber:
- Synopsys HSPICE:
- Agilent ADS: ads2011_XX_rXXX_windows.exe -f installer.properties
- 2011.05 doesn't install licensing tools, so have to install them separately. Told it should be fixed in next release in Dec.
- OptiSystem: should be setup.exe /SILENT, but doesn't work. They've disabled the automated install.
- Copy in edited hasplm.ini file to %programfiles%\common files\aladdin shared\hasp\ before installing.
Advertisements and Task Sequences
- TS: Install Multiple Applications option
- Define Task Sequence Variables for each application to install
- Variable names must be in format XXX001, XXX002, XXX003 etc, where XXX is the base name (no known restriction on base name)
- Define variables first, then add "Install Software" step, choose option to install multiple applications, and input the base name of the TSVs
- Unconfirmed: Only works if TS advertisement is set to access content directly from the DP
- TS: Using multiple "Install Software" steps to install multiple applications in one TS
- Appears to mis-report required disk space if installing multiple programs from the same package
