Silent Install for Phoenix for Maya

[reinaldomoon]

Hi !

We are currently working in some shots where we need to get the latest builds cause we need some cool features you are including.
Happens that with a 20 machines renderfarm, reinstalling every couple of days is being a pain in the ass.

Is there some option to make a silent install for Phoenix for Maya like Vlado suggested for Vray in this post ?

I managed to make an .exe where I can install latest Vray build with just one button, and sun started to shine again.

Thanks!!!

They are using the same installer, so it's possible. I need to extract all variables.

This is the xml file:

<DefValues>
<Value Name="MAYAROOT" DataType="value">C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2012\</Value>
<Value Name="MODULEDEST" DataType="value">$MAYAROOT/modules</Value>
<Value Name="PLUGINS" DataType="value">C:\Program Files\Autodesk\Maya2012\vray</Value>
<Value Name="STDROOT" DataType="value">$PROGRAMFILES\Chaos Group\Phoenix FD\Maya 2012 for x64</Value>
<Value Name="SCENES" DataType="value">$MYDOCUMENTS\Phoenix FD\samples maya</Value>
<Value Name="OPEN_CHANGELOG" DataType="value">0</Value>
<Value Name="OPEN_README" DataType="value">0</Value>
</DefValues>

and the command line:

phoenixFD_adv_20000_maya2012_vray_20_x64.exe -gui=0 -configFile="values.xml" -quiet=1
