Solidworks MDT

[Hulbert99]

Hi all,

 

Has anyone put Solidworks into MDT before?

 

If so what command line did you use to install it silently?

 

Thanks

I'm just in the process of doing this myself. Are you deploying an administrative image? I've just got all the pre-requisites packaged and ready to go, just about to try the actual administrative image.

 

How far down the line did you get with this?

Finally conquered this. It seems it wasn't as simple as just running msiexec /i solidworks.msi /qb

 

You have to go through setting all the Feature and Global properties. You can find all the relevant command line properties here: 2015 SOLIDWORKS Installation Help - Command-Line Properties

 

Anyhow, hopefully below may help others should they need it:

I thought I had done it, rolled it out and it wasn't on there!

 

Will use your advice when I re-do the image thanks!
