    Default Adding Object Enabler installers to a deployment - silently!!!

    I'm building a new AutoCAD Architecture 2015 deployment and I'd like to have the Civil3D Object Enabler be a part of it.

    I know I can simply add the EXE in the provided "Include additional software" area of the deploy.

    However, I'd like to also add a switch so that the install of the Object Enabler is silent (or at least does not prompt the user to click "next" through the install of the object enablers).

    Autodesk provides a field for switches... but what are they? /q? /s? Nothing seems to work.

    What should I be putting in that field so that it can be a truly unattended install?

    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Oddly enough, /q seems to be working...

    Wierd.

    Anyway... /q does the trick. Its not truly silent as you see the progress bar and the install window, but you don't need to do anything.

    Solved.

    I *always* prefer the status bar instead of truly silent. When nothing is there it's hard to tell if its still running, or if it even started in the first place.

    Autocad 2015 SP2 with Recap deployment with embedded Civil3D, Cadworx Plant and Plant 3D OE's.

    I added three OE's to my deployment with the /q switch for each. However, I am still asked to click on install location and go through the installation options for the OE's. I also get an error when third OE tries to install. It states that it can't install because another Autodesk instance is being installed. If I click retry enough times, it installs but then the deployment stops and Autocad never gets installed. Any ideas?

    It may be how the particular installer is working. I've only got Civil3D and AutoCAD Architecture OE's running during the install and the /q switch works great. (you still see the dialog box but there is no user input required - which is all I'm after)

    Sorry, I know that's not the answer you're looking for.
