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

To do this, create a batch file (e.g. silent_install_enterprise.bat or silent_install_professional.bat ) with the following exemplary content. The file must not have line breaks (hereinafter only for the sake of presentation).

Example for PARTsolutions Enterprise:

msiexec /i C:\partsolutions_enterprise_12.0.9.xxxxxx.msi /passive /L*V c:\temp\log.txt 
 PRODUCT_BIN="C:\Program Files\PARTsolutions\" 
 PRODUCT_DATA="C:\ProgramData\PARTsolutions\" CADENAS_DATA=D:\data\ 
 INSTALL_MODE=0 ADDLOCAL=F.apps_psol_enterprise,F.CAD_NX,F.AutoActivateInterfaces

Example for PARTsolutions Professional:

msiexec /i C:\partsolutions_professional_12.9.0.xxxxxx.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,F.CAD_NX,F.AutoActivateInterfaces

You can see all msiexec specific parameters when you execute the command msiexec in a console.

To evaluate the parameters available in the respective package, open the package with Orca. (See https://learn.microsoft.com/de-de/windows/win32/msi/orca-exe. After installing winsdksetup.exe, the package Orca-x86_en-us.msi must be explicitly installed at C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Kits\10\bin\10.0.22621.0\x86\ )

-> In Orca, all call parameters can be found in tabular form. The ones mentioned below make a concrete reference to the example used:
