An installation script points to the location of the product's

setup.exe

file. You

must point to the

setup.exe

file on your installation media or network location.

In order for your Autodesk product to run properly, you must have

Administrator permissions on the computer where the program is being

installed.

Sample Installation Batch Files

The sample batch files in this section install AutoCAD in typical configurations

for stand-alone or network licensed versions. To make it easy to copy this

sample batch file and substitute your own information, the same names are

used throughout for variables.

Notes

<mediaDriveLetter> is the drive letter where the media is mounted or the

setup.exe

file is stored

Install options used here include /t (setup is executed by script) and /qb (display

a basic user interface). Others such as /w (log nonfatal warnings) are defined

for Microsoft Msiexec command line, and documented on the MS TechNet

website.

<SerialPrefix> is the first 3 digits of the serial number

<SerialPostFix> is the last 8 digits of the serial number

<ProdKey> is the Product Key

<lang> is the IETF language tag, for example en-US for English-United States

<eula_lang> is the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 standard for the country for example
