Issue with MathCad Prime 2.0?
I'm working on mathcad prime 2.0
we'll get 3 ARP entries one for MathCad, Quality Agent and MathCad PDSi viewable support.
I extracted 3 msi's and first 2 installs fine (mathcad and Quality agent)
While installing the 3rd MSi i got the below error.
Please help me how to resolve this...

I had that problem too. I had to use the setup.exe bootstrapper to automate it. Here's what I remember from what I did...
1) Install on a test machine using the setup.exe that PTC provides and grab the "mathcad.p.xml" file. Location: "C:\Program Files\PTC\Mathcad\Mathcad Prime 2.0\bin\pim\xml\mathcad.p.xml"
2) Modify the xml file. I added license server info... changed the [SOURCE] property... changed /qn to /qb for msiexec args
3) Use a command similar to the following to do automated installs on other machines:
setup.exe -xml c:\yourpath\mathcad.p.xml
or if you want to be fancy in a batch file:
"%~dp0setup.exe" -xml "%~dp0mathcad.p.xml"
I don't think I did anything else like editing the MSI... but if this doesn't work for you, I can dig a bit and see if I did anything else.

Hi there, in which line did you add the license server? I added in <MSIARGUMENT>LICENSEPATHFORM="ServerAndPort" LICENSEPATH="7788@localhost"</MSIARGUMENT>
changed localhost to our licenserver but it didnt add that information when I installed the program. - Muri 9 years ago-
I think you did it correctly. I did mine in the <MSI> section. My scenario may be different because we are using a triad server configuration.
<MSI PRODUCTCODE="{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}" UPGRADECODE="{XXXXXXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXX-XXXXXXXXXXXX}" from="ptcsh0/PrimeWixInstaller_64bit.msi" id="ptcsh0/PrimeWixInstaller_64bit.msi" ignoreforupdate="Y" install="Y" installed="Y" name="prime_msi" platform="x86e_win64" size="612966400" version="2.0.1">

<UNINSTALL>msiexec.exe /x "[PRODUCTCODE]"</UNINSTALL>

Though in saying that if they were installed already it should work, lol - anyway pays to check (: - rileyz 10 years ago
