Reply To: Unattended (silent) installation of 2024R2 & -productfile switch

[MangeshANSYS]

Hello,

Here is a link to the silent installation documentation https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v242/en/installation/win_silent_op.html which includes syntax and informatino on options

 

for the stalling of the silent installation ...

1.  Does eliminating the space in the folder name yield any different results ? i.e. changing "ANSYS ANSYS 2024R2" to "ANSYS_ANSYS_2024R2" ? Or perhaps map the UNC share as a drive letter and try again ?
2.  the next set of files to be extracted might be one of these zip files (my example uses F:\ as the mount). Do any or all of these files exist in your media ?

3. If not then, which media is being used to install Ansys? Were the .iso images downloaded, then MD5 checksum checked for the .iso and extracted to the share ? Or was a certain zip file or zil files used ? - which one ? if you try to install on a test machine from the GUI then does it work corectly or stalls at the same point ? it is possible that some file may be missing ?

4. Another possibility if if a security software such as an antivitus is causing access issues and hence the lockup ?

 

hope this helps
