Deploying Creo Illustrate Using a Silent Installation
Perform a silent installation in either of these ways:
• Deploy the program from the MSI package that is located under the illustrate directory on the installation media.
• Directly call msiexec.exe on some or all the required installers—See Customizing the Installer for examples.
In the Command Prompt you can enter msiexec /? to read an explanation of all the generic MSI options. Some common examples of options for a silent installation follow:
• /qn—Installs the software with no installer user interface.
• /qb—Provides a progress bar with a Cancel button.
• /qb!—Provides only a progress bar. A user cannot stop the installation.

Feature Name
|
Import Filter
|
||
|---|---|---|---|
|
dwg
|
3D DWG support. This feature is a prerequisite for pvifdwg
|
||
|
pvimportall
|
Forces the installation of all the pvif* features listed in the individual import filters table.
Works in conjunction with the ALLIMPORTFILTERS=1 property.
Using this feature on its own prevents the need for using the pvimport and pvif* individual features.
|
||
|
pvimport
|
Basic set of files required for installing the import filters listed below. This is a prerequisite to any pvif* feature. This feature should be used in conjunction with at least one of the pvif* features.
|
 |
When you install the pvimportall feature, it is installed as a hidden feature and none of the public import filters appear as installed. To view the other hidden features in the MSI user interface after the installation, install the multiple individual features instead. Run the following command lines to install the import filters individually:
start /w CreoIllustrate_64.exe /vADDLOCAL="main,admintool,dwg,en,doc,pvimportall" ALLIMPORTFILTERS="1" /qb
start /w CreoIllustrate_64.exe /vADDLOCAL="main,admintool,dwg,en,doc
,pvifcatiadirect,pvifdae,pvifdgn,pviffbx,pvifgbf,pvifiges ,pvifinvdirect,pvifobj,pvifpgl,pvifsedirect,pvifstep,pvifstl,pvifvrml" /qb The installation is done using the ALLIMPORTFILTERS=1 property set, and is only uninstalled or upgraded using the same property as the following command line:
msiexec /x <PackageCode> ALLIMPORTFILTERS=1
start /w C:\Windows\system32\msiexec.exe /x {92B82EA2-7659-4A9F-95AF-6D40A2B1F3C6} ALLIMPORTFILTERS="1" /qb In this command line, <PackageCode> is the CLSID retrieved from the following registry location: Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVerion\Uninstall. Search for Creo Illustrate. Each MSI package you create has a different package code, so you cannot copy and paste the following example below which comes from a development package.
