Toolbox not installing from admin image
Toolbox not installing from admin image
(OP)
Hello,
I recently installed SW 2006 on 2 machines from an admin image on the server using the command line. Both machines run Windows XP. The trouble is that the toolbox did not install even though I had specified it. The command I used was as follows:
msiexec /i english_i386_solidworks.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\Program Files\Solidworks" TOOLBOXFOLDER="O:\SOLIDWORKS" OFFICEOPTION=1 SOLIDWORKSSERIALNUMBER="0000 0040 XXXX XXXX" REGCODE=391CC3HB UPGRADESWINSTALL=1 /qb+ /l "\\fdi-s01\support\SW ADMIN IMAGE\LOGS\fdi-c03_sw2006sp4.1.log ADDLOCAL=English,SolidWorks,AddIns,SupportedLanguages,SolidWorksTaskScheduler,FeatureWorks,SolidWorksToolbox,SolidWorksUtilities,SolidWorksDesignChecker
Any suggestions as to why?
Thank you,

RE: Toolbox not installing from admin image
I didn't actually install SW on the server, I just created an admin image. The toolbox folder is on the same server as the admin image, accessible by all computers on the network.
I'm not sure if that makes sense or answers your question...

RE: Toolbox not installing from admin image
To clariy, what I'm trying to accomplish is to have an admin image on the server. Then install all computers from that image. The differences would be specified via the properties documented in the SW installation guide which is primarily the serial numbers and registration codes. I'm gathering that this is only possible if I have a working installation of SW on the server with an admin image created from that?
Hope this clarifies it. I've gotten a lot of conflicting information, so I'm trying to sort through it.

Now to take it a bit further, can I do the installs silently, as in via the command line, or will that not work the same?

You need to install SW on the server with all links setup.

RE: Toolbox not installing from admin image
I've got those references and have read them. I'm following the examples, but its not working as I stated in the first post. I can't see anything wrong with my command and I had installed SW on other systems prior to that with no problems. The only difference being that this time I installed from the command line with a silent install rather than by clicking on the swsetup.exe file.
The other thing not clear to me is how to create an admin image from the working SW installation on the server rather than from the cd itself.
