Silent Installation

The silent installation can be used to install OCAD or a Service Update without interacting with the installer. The software is installed automatically. First you have to create a new Batch-File (.bat). Simply right-click on the desktop and choose New --> Text Document

Enter your filename and change the filename extension to .bat (e.g. CourseSetting.bat). If you cannot change the filename extension, go to your Windows Control Panel and open your Folder Options. Deactivate the Hide extensions for known file types option.

Right-click on your new batch-file and click Edit. The Editor is shown.

Silent Installation for Service Update

If you want to install a new Service Update in silent mode, copy the following text into your Batch file:

 "C:\Users\OCAD\Downloads\OCAD_11_Course_Setting_ServiceUpdate.exe" /SILENT /COMPONENTS="lang\ENG"

• Change the directory to the directory of the Service Update File (Note: NOT the OCAD directory).
• Add /SILENT for your silent installation. If you replace /SILENT with /VERYSILENT the progress bar of the installation will also be hidden.
• Add /COMPONENTS="lang\ENG" to define the language of the installed symbol set of OCAD. Change ENG to any language you prefer (e.g. GER, SWE, FIN, NOR...)

Save the batch file and close it. Double-click on the file to run the silent installation.
