LINEAR Solutions 26 for Revit

Create .iss Response File for LINEAR Solutions Installations over a Network

Shows step-by-step how to create an .iss response file for silent installations over a network.

Before you begin

You want to create an .iss response file so that it can be used by administrators for unattended installations of LINEAR Solutions programs over a network.

Requirements

You have received your installation medium (USB stick or ZIP file) and have access to the medium.

Navigate to

Desktop of the Computer

Procedure

  1. Start the Windows command prompt with administrator rights.
  2. In the command prompt, use the cd command to navigate to the installation directory of the LINEAR Solutions.
    Note: Make sure that you do not navigate to the Setup folder, but to the LINEAR Solutions XX folder.
  3. Execute the Setup.exe file with the following start parameters: Setup.exe /r /f1"Your Storage Path\unattended-SolutionsXX-install.iss"
    The parameter /r stands for "record" and the parameter /f1 specifies the folder in which the .iss response file is saved (e.g. Setup.exe /r /f1 "C:\LINEAR\unattended-SolutionsXX-install.iss").
    Note: There must be no space after /f1 !
  4. Select the language of the installation.
  5. Carry out the individual installation steps and select the settings you want to save in the .iss response file in the dialogs.

Results

Once the installation is complete, the .iss response file is saved in the folder specified as a parameter.

What to do next

You can now use the .iss response file for unattended installations over a network by replacing the parameter /r with /s , where /s stands for "silent" (e.g., Setup.exe /s /f1"C:\LINEAR\unattended-SolutionsXX-install.iss").
