Install network automate

[pumaka]

Archicad has not updated its documentation since version 22 and no longer offers a solution for network installation for administrators. What is the solution to update 30 to 70 computers with Archicad? For small offices, installation by hand is easier. In the age of AI, there is no automated update for IT.

Operating system used: Windows 11 23h2

The installation package creation no longer exists, but the installer has command line flags to preconfigured the install, ie you can assign a custom workspace at installation or run in silent mode.

I wrote a batch script to run the installer in unattended mode, with the office default workspace, the latest hot fix installer and goodies installer and some registry tweaks.  It works great, run it and 10-15mins later archicad is all installed and preconfigured. (Except for the bloody GSID login… 😡)

if you aren’t familiar with batch scripts you’ll likely want to use the START cmd to run each item and wait for it to complete before running the next.
