Hi

It is quite hard to install catia silently...
This will cover the installation of a network client under windows.

So here we go ! We'll use default options for this install.

1/ Copy all the Cds into the SAME directory, for example cd1+2 (answer 'yes' to all questions)

2/ Go to cd1+2/Intel :
startB.exe -u "g:\applis\catiar17" -newdir -v -noLang "it ko" -all -allextra_prd -noreboot

This will install catia with all modules/data available into g:\applis\catiar17. Italian and korean interface will not be installed.

3/ Install VBA
cd1+2/VBA :
msiexec /qb /i vba6.msi

4/ Install LUM client (licence manager) with all features
arkwin468.exe /s /v"/qb LUM_SILENT=1 /l c:\log.txt"

5/ Configure LUM
We use a network licence type (1 server). Go to c:\Ifor\win\bin
i4cfg -a c -b "'network ip:name_of_the_server'"

Reboot or i4cfg -start

Enjoy

Good start, but is there an easy way to then install and commit service packs?

Just experimented a litle, and copied the service pack files into the install directory. It said that it was installing V5 R16 sp 7, but did not come up with any configurations. I guess I need to experiment more.

In Catia V5 R17 you can install servicepacks silent by using startspkb.exe -killprocess
