I posted this on the Autodesk forums... but I think that AUGI gets a bit more traffic. So I thought I'd share here as well.

This is a deployment related thread, I'd figure it would fit well in the Network section of CAD Management. If it belongs somewhere else... move it MODs!

So anyway...

I'm creating a script to detect if AutoCAD 2011 is installed on a machine, and if it is, install AutoCAD 2013 (and then eventually uninstall 2011).

However it errors out at the silent deployment of AutoCAD 2013.

Here's the link to my detailed install log: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22838635/Au...%20Install.log
Here's the link ot my installation batch file: https://dl.dropbox.com/u/22838635/Au...stall_2013.bat

It detects to see which version to install based on whether or not the machine is a 64bit OS or not. Then it attempts to silently install. But when it attempts to, it only gets this far:

Final info: Running the installation with Interactive mode works just fine. It's when I check the box to enable a Silent Installation for the deployment do I run into trouble.

Also, I originally attmempted to use this, but it didn't seem to work: http://wikihelp.autodesk.com/Infrast...21-Sample_I221

Any thoughts?
