I did 16.2 for a while and decided to use a silent setup instead of capturing it.
I can't imagine that 16.3 differs that much from 16.2 so here are some notes.
No license info was added, the customer wanted to used it in 'demo' mode.
* Create an answer-/response-file
(D:SourceDVDDisk1)
setup.exe /r
this will generate the setup.iss file under C:Windows.
* Install
setup.exe -s -f1'<full path to setup.iss>' -SMS
Note:
During install the license dialog still display and halt for button click.
Before executing the setup I launched a vbscript that listened for start of the LicenseClientConfiguration.exe process and just kill it.
If you want to add license information you need to find a working solution instead.
* Update
Hotfix_ORCAD16.20.002_wint_1of1.exe -s -f1'<full path to update.iss>' -SMS
* Fix vendor crap
During first launch the application wants to create some COM-Component registry which will not happen
if the launching user is a standard-user.
I just imported the missing registry after the installation.
(Root keys under HKLMSOFTWAREClasses)
The install does not create the '%ProgramFiles%Cadence Switch Release' folder required for 'Cadence Switch Release' (shortcut)
so you need to create that.
* Set permissions for the Build-in 'Users' group
SetACL.exe -on '%SystemDrive%OrCAD_Data' -ot file -actn ace -ace 'n:S-1-5-32-545;p:change;s:y'
The '%SystemDrive%OrCAD_Data' (C:OrCAD_Data) is the 'Workingdir' which was entered during the install response file generation.
SetACL.exe -on '%ProgramFiles%CadenceOrCAD_Demo' -ot file -actn ace -ace 'n:S-1-5-32-545;p:change;s:y'
SetACL.exe -on '%ProgramFiles%Cadence Switch Release' -ot file -actn ace -ace 'n:S-1-5-32-545;p:change;s:y'
* Reboot required
Don't know why the different applications didn't work after starting before a reboot; you get a lot of missing DLLs, crashes and so on.
A reboot did get everything working, I just couldn't find out why it was required as nothing related to OrCAD was changed after the reboot which was quite annoying.
* Uninstall
Note: to create the uninstall response-file use setup.exe -uninst /r
setup.exe -s -f1'<full path to unsetup.iss>' -SMS -uninst
* Clean-up
(remove the below folders if exists)
'%ProgramFiles%CadenceOrCAD_Demo'
'%ProgramFiles%Cadence Switch Release'
(remove the below folders if empty so no other Cadence products exists in this folder)
'%ProgramFiles%Cadence'
Delete the imported registry
Note: I decided not to delete the imported '.dat' registry but just to do a quick-fix.
REG ADD 'HKLMSOFTWAREClasses.dat' /ve /d ' /f
REG DELETE 'HKLMSOFTWAREClasses.datShellNew' /f
Hope that helps.
