Is it possible to install VisualARQ silently?

Yes, it is.

Prerequisites

  • Windows machine (VisualARQ runs on Windows).
  • Close all running instances of Rhino before installing (recommended for clean deployment).
  • Run Command Prompt / PowerShell as Administrator (recommended in managed environments).

Steps

  1. Run the .msi of VisualARQ with the following command line:
    • In Rhino 7: msiexec.exe /i “VisualARQ-Rhino7.msi” /qn LICENSE_ACCEPTED=”1″ LICENSE_MODE=”4
    • In Rhino 8: msiexec.exe /i “VisualARQ-Rhino8.msi” /qn LICENSE_ACCEPTED=”1″ LICENSE_MODE=”4″
  2. Replace “VisualARQ-Rhino7.msi” or “VisualARQ-Rhino8.msi, with the msi name of the VisualARQ version you need to install, including the full path where the msi file is located.

Example:

If the msi file is in your desktop, and you want to install VisualARQ in Network license mode, the command line should be like this: C:\Users\name.surname\Desktop\msiexec.exe /i “VisualARQ-Rhino8.msi” /qn LICENSE_ACCEPTED=”1″ LICENSE_MODE=”4″

License modes

The license mode value corresponds as follows:

  • 1 = viewer
  • 2 = evaluation
  • 3 = standalone
  • 4 = network
  • 5 = cloud
