Silent deployment of CRE0 9 through SCCM Configuration Manager

I was wondering if anyone here has a powershell script that I can use to deploy CREO 9 through Configuration Manager. I can create a custom script to install but I would like to know what is needed to add the license and everything fully automated, perhaps an XML file that instructs the software.

I've never used SCCM Configuration Manager, but I have created silent install scripts like you're referring to. Perform the install manually first, and select all the desired settings including the license file. In the installation directory, look for these files:

  • creobase.p.xml
  • pma.p.xml

For much more info, check out the Installation and Administration Guide. They have a section on Silent Installs: https://www.ptc.com/support/-/media/support/refdocs/Creo_Parametric/9,-d-,0/installguide90.pdf?sc_lang=en&source=search

 

Also note per this support article: https://www.ptc.com/en/support/creo-landing/creo-landing-main/install-floating-creo/silent-creo-installation?overlay=68498ACA-C21C-44C4-8C49-BAA76CE5C9F2&source=search
