2.3.  MSI Installation: Silent Install

As of V12 SP4 you can install a MSI package with "silent install".[79]

The main packages are:

  • eCatalogSolutions.msi

  • partsolutions_enterprise.msi

  • partsolutions_professional.msi

For this, create a batch file (e.g. silent_install_enterprise.bat) with the following exemplary content. The file may not contain line breaks (in the following only for presentation).

msiexec /i C:\partsolutions_enterprise_12.0.4.216941.msi /passive /L*V c:\temp\log.txt 
 PRODUCT_BIN="C:\Program Files\PARTsolutions Professional\" 
 PRODUCT_DATA="C:\ProgramData\PARTsolutions Professional\" CADENAS_DATA=D:\data\ 
 INSTALL_MODE=0 ADDLOCAL=F.apps_psol_enterprise,F.CAD_NX,F.AutoActivateInterfaces

All msiexec specific parameters can be seen when executing msiexec in a command prompt.

All package specific parameters can be seen when opening the package with Orca. (See https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/win32/msi/orca-exe. After having installed winsdksetup.exe, under C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.22621.0\x86\, the package Orca-x86_en-us.msi has still to be installed explicitly.)

-> In Orca, all calling parameters can be found ordered in table form. The ones mentioned in the following are in direct relation to above example:
