To all Admins,

I am preparing to roll out Creo 2.0 to about 65 engineers and am having some issue with the silent install process over the network. If anyone has experience with this please reply back asap.

Thanks,

Buddy Hudson

    I've had some success running it, what issues are you seeing?

    Hey Doug,

    Thanks for responding. Well, I am going through the installation guide and of course everything is different now as far as locations of all of the folders and files, but I can follow it to a point, but then I get stuck on the part where it asks you to point to the DVD drive letter. I perform the typical install to my workstation like it says. I understand where the xml files are located that have to be used. Then, when it gets to the part about running the setup.exe from a command shell, it shows <dvd>: where this is the drive letter or the location of the downloaded DVD image. That is the part that is getting me. It is asking for an image?? Not sure what to do at this point. I have tried pointing it to a network drive where the copied DVD is, but that does not seem to work. The same goes for the client side components. It says to use the "/passive" syntax but I am not sure if this is going to require admin rights on the client machine. We have heavy security on our workstations here, and the entire C drive is locked to the users. It just seems like things are never straight forward when it comes to these installations. I would appreciate your help if you have time.

    Thanks, Buddy

    I think you simply need to point to the setup.exe file, either on the DVD from PTC or wherever you downloaded it. Here's what I used:

    \\[server]\[path]\setup.exe -xml \\[server]\[path]\creobase.p.xml -xml \\[server]\[path]\pma.p.xml
