The ExtendSim installer is not an MSI installer but rather an InstallScript installer. Consequently, we don't directly support silent installs. One option is to do the following:
- Take an image of a Client device that does not yet have ExtendSim installed.
- Follow Client Devices - Installation & Activation in the Installing & Activating ExtendSim Floating Licenses document to install, but do not launch, ExtendSim on that Client device. Make sure the installation destination for user-modifiable files (MyDocuments/ExtendSim) is to a location for which the end user has read-write access so that they can open, change, and save models.
- Copy the extendsim.lic file that was generated by the License Manager into that device's MyDocuments/ExtendSim folder.
- Do not launch ExtendSim!
- Take a second image of the machine.
- Create your own silent installer by using these two images to see how our installer altered the clean machine.
Note: Each Client will need to have its own ExtendsimDocPath.txt file located at Program Files/ExtendSim. This text file contains the path to the Documents folder that contains ExtendSim user-modifiable files (MyDocuments/ExtendSim)
