    This is mandatory to uninstall any AutoPLANT installed version, clean machine and registry entries, otherwise SilentInstall might fail.

    1. Extract all files to C:\BentleyDownloads\. Once the files are extracted make sure and cancel the installations. The goal is just to receive the files so they can be scripted.

    Modification of the SilentInstall.bat file.

    1. Go to AutoPLANT Modeler SS8 Refresh 3 - Silent Installation Procedure Wiki and do 1-4 steps of SilentInstall.bat file modification.
      Those steps are required fro main AutoPLANT Modeler 8.11.14.124 version installation

    2. After 1-4 steps are done open AutoInstall.bat file and copy variables required for Silent Patch installation procedure and paste them all to SilentInstall.bat file.


    3. Copy and paste SET AI_INSTALL_AP_PATCH=1 variable


    4. Copy and paste SET AP_PATCH_PATH=081114132en1_updt1\product\ variable


      Copy and Paste SET HTA_FILE=AutoPLANT_Patches.hta in case you will need this Silent install to be run from *.hta file. This is explained in 7 step below where you can decide how to run your silent install.

    5. Copy and Paste SET APSETUPS_PATCH=%AI_APSETUPS%%AP_PATCH_PATH%


    6. Copy and Paste whole IF Patch installation condition at he end of %AI_GET_FILES% script


    7. Copy Patch Installation scrip from AutoInstall.bat and Paste it to the Silent Install.bat file. 


      We will delete this Autoinstall command, which is running scripts from *.hta file, because we will replace it with special installation command lines from same *.hta file to run *.msp files directly. In case there is no restrictions to use *.hta files, and no issue that installation will be visible with popping dialogs, then you can leave this standard command line and test SilentInstall.bat file with no modifications further.

      But if there are restrictions to use *.hta files then with below steps you can find how to edit script and get installation done silently by running *.msp files directly.

    8. Open AutoPLANT_Patches.hta file
    9. Scroll till end of file and copy all msiexec commands which are launching *.msp files






    10. Paste all three commands to replace standard AutoInstall script and insert %APSETUPS_PATCH% variable which is pointing to patch directory where all *.msp files are located.
      As well you can add additional echo lines to inform about the progress.



      I have added /norestart in order to avoid any accidental restart request and /q to install *.msp files quietly, with no user interface interruption.

    11. Now save all changes and start SilentInstall.bat file as administrator.
      Installation will start install all required prerequisites and AutoPLANT Modeler. Batch file is always checking if prerequisites are installed. If no then he will drop ERROR message about missing registry entry and will install it.

      Wait till it will finish and verify that Modeler is installed and upgraded Silently.
