PTC ProDesktop 8 - Unattended Install

[william_tropico]

Hello,

 

I am wondering if anyone has had any luck in creating an unattended install of PTC ProDesktop 8? I have the MSI and can install it using /qb however I can't seem to find any information on specifying the User Name and Registered organization properties?

 

Does anyone know how to specify these attributes using a command line install?

 

Thank you,

William

You should be able to do it with Orca, either with an MST or by editing the MSI (which isn't as wise, keep an unedited copy). The fields are under the Control table - Customer Information - NameEdit and CompanyEdit. Change the Property strings from USERNAME and COMPANYNAME (which are Windows variables) to your desired ones.

Hmm, I run a batch file to install this - but I don't specify anything and it still comes up with School name and Department Name! This is what I run (I'm not sure why we /Regserver ProD.exe at the end, but its been like that as long as I can remember!):

 

@setlocal enableextensions

@cd /d "%~dp0"

@IF DEFINED PUBLIC (SET AUDESKTOP=%PUBLIC%\Desktop) & (SET AUSTARTMENU=%PROGRAMDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu) ELSE (SET AUDESKTOP=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop) & (SET AUSTARTMENU=%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Start Menu)

 

"ISScript8.Msi" /quiet

 

"PTC ProDESKTOP 8.0.msi" /quiet

 

if "%PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE%"=="x86" (

"c:\Program Files\PTC\ProDESKTOP 8.0\Program\prod.exe" /regserver

) else (

"c:\Program Files (x86)\PTC\ProDESKTOP 8.0\Program\prod.exe" /regserver

)

 

 

Edit:

The top 3 lines are what we put at the top of all our batch file installs (it dates back to when we had WinXP and Win7 running side by side, so if the script needed to put an icon on the all users desktop or start menu, you only had to reference %AUDESKTOP% or %AUSTARTMENU%).
