PTC Creo 4.0 Silent Install Script

[robk]

Does anyone have a silent install script for PTC Creo 4.0? I have the licence server set up and appears to be running, but I really don't want to be doing 200 manual installs!

 

I know the recommendation is add before you image, but our WDT image is not a capture so that option is out for us.

 

Regards

Did you have any luck getting this working? I'm putting off changing from Creo 2 until the idiots give us a silent install method.

Not yet, was hoping someone would have some suggestions..

bump? I see online hints of it being possible but not found a concrete way of doing it yet.

Sooo........ gonna kick yourself.....

 

In the installation folder of Creo 4 there is a PDF called "read me first"..... Page 146 gives details on how to script it. In a nutshell, install it once, pick some XML files out and then install it again with an "-xmlall "C:\LINKTOFOLDERCONTAININGXMLFILES" " and it works.......

 

Been putting this off for a year and after a day of failing to make an msi i found this. Still a tad more complicated than it had to be but still..... feeling sheepish.

Now I did look at our install files earlier, and found the install script but couldn't for the life of me remember where I found the info for the unattended install. That manual sounds like it.

 

Fingers crossed all goes well with your install!
