Silent Installation Problem

Rhino Rhino for Windows
1

Hi,

i was trying to install Rhino 6 via the offline package (bootstrapper.exe). I used the following command line:

bootstrapper.exe -package -quiet -norestart LICENSE_METHOD=STANDALONE LICENSE_KEY=%myevalkey% SEND_STATISTICS=0 ENABLE_AUTOMATIC_UPDATES=0 DISABLE_INTERNET_ACCESS=1

Getting always an exit code of -2147024894.

Digging in the underlaying msi and trying a install of these with the properties results in a 1603 error.

The msi log shows me a problem with the license custom action:

MSI (s) (BC!20) [09:37:35:384]: Product: Rhino 6 – ERROR: RMA_SERIALNUMBER is a required property in CA ‘InstallLicense’.
This is a deferred custom action
Set the property ‘INSTALLLICENSE’ to
“RMA_SERIALNUMBER=;OTHERPROP=;…”
ERROR: RMA_SERIALNUMBER is a required property in CA ‘InstallLicense’.
This is a deferred custom action
Set the property ‘INSTALLLICENSE’ to
“RMA_SERIALNUMBER=;OTHERPROP=;…”
CustomAction InstallLicense returned actual error code 1603 (note this may not be 100% accurate if translation happened inside sandbox)

A manual install is working. But i need the silent way to rollout the software on several systems.

Windows 10 1709
rhino_en-us_6.16.19190.07001.exe
Corporate Proxy & Firewall

How can i solve the problem? I do only need Rhino 6 for viewing purposes.

Best regards,
DK

@DK_2019, Dude do NOT post your license key here! :man_facepalming:

Its an evaluation license …

Fair enough, but just have that in mind. This is a public forum.

You got an idea why the installation hangs at the license action?

I do only need the viewing functions. No need for the editing functionality.

Hello,

Did you write your key and also %myevalkey% ?

I presume you are supposed to replace %myevalkey% with your key number, not type both

Hi Graham,

%myevalkey% is just a placeholder to not show here the serial key. Even its only an evaluation one.
In my command line i putted the right key one time behind LICENSE_KEY=

Im behind a corporate firwall & proxy.

Mystery solved …

Our security software blocked silent some calls of the installer :weary:.
