Silent installation of DPT products using command line

Below, we describe the use of options to run the install in silent mode using command line.

It is advised to first run the installer in interactive mode on one machine, that would generate a script containing the chosen options, and then install in silent mode on other machines using this generated script.

Important Remark

For all Msi, 2 options can be added for:

  • The installation directory: INSTALLDIR="installpath"
  • The installation options: DPT_INSTALL="opt1,opt2,..."

When launched with UI, each Msi generate a file cmdfile_version_Setup_CmdLine.example_ps1 in the log file folder (otherwise in temp). Example for ThinkDesign version 2019_1_20110 we will generate DPT_TD_2019_1_20110_Setup_CmdLine.ps1

All possible options for DPT_INSTALL are listed in this file and can be reused to execute the same installation in silent mode.

Specially for ThinkDesign Msi, choose one Main Product, then optional Converters and Addons:

  • Main Product (only one choice):
    • DPT_ThinkDesignProfessional
    • DPT_ThinkDesignMolding
    • DPT_ThinkDesignOther
  • Converters:
    • DPT_TDXchange
  • Addons:
    • DPT_CoordinatesLabel

Example:

  • msiexec.exe /i "DPT_TD_2019_1_20110_en-US.msi" DPT_ACCEPTEULA=true DPT_ACCEPTEULA_DETAIL_1=true DPT_ACCEPTEULA_DETAIL_2=true DPT_ACCEPTEULA_DETAIL_3=true DPT_CUSTOMERACCOUNTID=yourcustomeraccountid INSTALLDIR="c:\myDptInstall" DPT_INSTALL="DPT_ThinkDesignProfessional, DPT_CoordinatesLabel" /l*v "C:\mainMsi.log"
