Altair HyperWorks uses InstallShield InstallScript based installers. The software will need to be installed and uninstalled manually using the /r option to record a setup.iss for the install and uninstall stages. Once that is complete, the following WPKG setup should work.

Note that the /f2 option is mandatory to make the silent install/uninstall work. The Altair Hyper Works installer refuses to install without this option, unless you perform the install manually while logged in to the console. The silent install will also fail if the target directory already exists.

Also note that the license file altair_lic.dat needs to be copied into the source area.

Starting A Slow Story Movement

"It is said that we become the stories that we tell among ourselves. This might have been true before we became salespersons. For a few decades now, I think we have become numb to the stories that we tell among ourselves. So stories have become shorter and crisper to the length of a tweet. We are so committed to telling a story to the point that finally what remains is a dimensionless point.
