Autodesk DWG TrueView 2014

  1. Select your package and download it from: http://usa.autodesk.com/adsk/servlet/pc/item?siteID=123112&id=9078813
  2. Run the downloaded exe to decompress the archive to any folder
  3. Since the decompressed folder is over 1G of size, I re-compress it using 7-zip
  4. The prerequistes are .Net Framework 4 and DirectX, but they are installed AUTOMATICALLY running the setup.exe as described in my package.xml:

        reboot='false' >
		
		<check type="uninstall" condition="exists" path="DWG TrueView 2014" />

		<!-- decompression to a local folder (C:\temp\trueview) -->

		<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /c copy /y "%SOFTWARE%\7zip\7z.*" C:\temp\trueview'> <exit code="any" /></install>

                <!-- decompress to local folder - NOTE the output redirection is mandatory in order to run 7z with WPKG! -->
		<install cmd='%COMSPEC% /C c:\temp\trueview\7z.exe x -y "%SOFTWARE%\viewers\TrueViewer\SetupDWGTrueView2014_ENU_64bit.7z" -oC:\temp\trueview > c:\temp\trueview\extract.log' />
		
		<!-- start installation -->
		<install cmd='c:\temp\trueview\setup.exe /w /t /l /q c:\temp\trueview\setup.ini' />

		<!-- remove decompressed folder -->

Autodesk DWG TrueView 2010

I would be very grateful if someone could amend the DirectX silent installer, I cannot get the /silent switch to work and believe me I have tried. The below is only a half silent install as with the DirectX components preinstalled it will fail.

This is the silent installer package for the freeware Autodesk DWG Trueview 2010, used for viewing AutoCAD DWG files.

This application relies on some DirectX components which are not installed as part of Windows, I have created a separate installer for DirectX and I used the DirectX installer which is located in the Support directory inside the DWG TrueView installer file.

This package also relies on DotNet 3.5 SP1 which I already have pushed out via WSUS however there is a WPKG package for this too. It also relies on the Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 redistributable. I have packages for all of these which are dependencies of my DWG TrueView package.

You need to extract the contents of the DWG TrueView file (get it here) to your WPKG installation directory, use 7-Zip.
