Set install folder for quiet install with QCAD Pro

Post by weze » Mon Jun 15, 2020 9:09 pm

Is there a possibility to set the install folder via command line when starting the installer?
We are using QCAD Pro 3.24.3 win64 installer 'qcad-3.24.3-pro-win64-installer.msi'. We are planning to distribute QCAD Pro as an integrated CAD app with our software product and would prefer quiet install of 3rd party apps. We use QtIFW to create installer packages.

Thanks for any hints!

Code: Select all

msiexec /i qcad-3.24.3-pro-win64-installer.msi INSTALLDIR="C:\myfolder" /qn

Is there a need for it to be "installed" (i.e. link DXF files and DWG files to QCAD)? Otherwise, I'd recommend to simply unpack the ZIP file we also offer. That's just unzip and run (qcad.exe), no further installation required. DXF/DWG files will not be linked with QCAD.

Thank you for your immediate response!
No there's no need to link DXF/DWG with QCAD, I simply didn't recognize the ZIP option.
