Perform a silent (msi) installation of SCIA Engineer

For a silent installation you can use the .msi file which you can find in the DISK1 folder when you have downloaded the full setup (distribution setup) of SCIA Engineer.

Following documents describe the command line parameters which you can set during the installation:

• Scia Engineer 21 MSI installation command line parameters.pdf
• Scia Engineer 19 MSI installation command line parameters.pdf (valid for SCIA19 and SCIA20)

Remarks:

• it is not possible to define the location of folders (Temp folder, Autosave folder, ...) during the msi-installation. You can change these locations after the installation via the registry. For SCIA21 it is following location in the registry: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\SCIA\Esa\21.0\Admin\Dir
• the prereqs (Visual C++ are not installed with the msi installation). You can install them before the msi-installation or you can use the Setup.exe file for a silent install with e.g. Bootstrapper (with the same parameters as described in the document above)
