Silent Installation of Creo2

[snorth]

I have created a document and program to do a silent install of Creo2. The program installs Creo2 on the users PC and sets the license and  registers the windchill server.  The program is based on PIM install guide page 140.

x:\Setups\Creo2_install\setup.exe  -xml "x:\setups\Creo2_install\creobase.p.xml" -xml "x:\setups\Creo2_install\pma.p.xml"

Contact me if you are interested.

What method did you use to register the server?  Does it cause any problems if the user is not a registered Windchill user at the time?

James.

You can register the server when you start creo2 or automate the process

Below is the .srv_mgr_db.fldx that gest copied to the below directory. You will need to modify the file for your site.

make dir and copy .srv_mgr_db.fldx and active_server_config.fld for registering the server md "C:\Users\%username%.FEG\AppData\Roaming\PTC\Creo\Platform\ServerMgr"
copy /Y "x:\setups\creo2_install\.srv_mgr_db.fldx" "C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\PTC\Creo\Platform\ServerMgr"

.srv_mgr_db.fldx file
