Does Maple 9.5 have a silent install option for Windows?

Yes. To use this method of installation for the Network version, you need to perform the following steps:

Place the Maple 9.5 CD into the CD-ROM drive.

Create a resource file named mapleinstaller.txt that specifies the installation options. For example:

INSTALLER_UI=silent
USER_INSTALL_DIR=C:\\Program\ Files\\Maple\ 9.5
IS_SERVER=Yes
LICENSE_MANAGER_SERVER_1=servername
MULTI_USERS=1
USER_REQUESTED_RESTART=NO

where:

INSTALLER_UI determines the mode; this can be ignored by specifying -i silent when running the installer.

USER_INSTALL_DIR is the install location. Backslashes and spaces MUST be escaped; the value CANNOT be contained within quotations; drive letters MUST be capitalized.

IS_SERVER defines whether installation is the server or the client. (Yes for server; No for client).

LICENSE_MANAGER_SERVER_1 is the name or IP address of your license server.

MULTI_USERS is 0 for single-user profiles and 1 for multi-user profiles.

USER_REQUESTED_RESTART is NO if you do not want to restart your computer after installation, YES if you do.

Open a DOS Window, navigate to the Windows\Disk1\InstData\VM directory on the Maple 9.5 CD and launch the installer with the command:

WinNetworkInstaller.exe -f <path>\mapleinstaller.txt

where <path> is the location you saved the mapleinstaller.txt file.
