Script

For a PTC Creo 2.0 (Parametric & Simulate) deployment via SCCM in my company we have the following needs:

-Multilingual package (English, French & Japanese),

-Multiplatform package (x64 for Windows 7 & x86 for Windows XP),

-Customized shortcut on the desktop (All Users profile) in order to launch a batch on a CAD-dedicated mapped network drive which will: download the right license file depending on the site, download the right custom configuration files depending on the site and finally launch Creo.

 

We used the Creo XML answer file recording in order to record the basic install we need and we did it twice (x86 & x64).

 

Here are the scripts we have right now in SCCM for Creo deployment:

x86:

On these deployment types, we also created some dependency groups: PTC Arbortext IsoView, PTC Platform (formerly Creo Agent), PTC Creo Thumbnail Viewer & PTC Creo View Express.  This way, the programs are installed before Creo suite and it doesn't popup for installing these prerequisites @Creo's first launch, so no admin rights needed... =P

 

Here are the bonus scripts for the Creo Help Center deployment (x86 app only):

Install program in SCCM:

@echo off
REM Script name: Install.bat
REM Script purpose: Used as Install Program in SCCM for Creo Help Center 2.0 (M070)
REM Script date: 9/10/2013

REM Set batch directory as working directory
pushd %~dp0

 

REM Run the Creo Help Center 2.0 (M070) install command line
setup.exe -xml creohelp.p.xml

 

REM Set back the previous working directory
popd

 

exit

Uninstall program in SCCM:

@echo off
REM Script name: Uninstall.bat
REM Script purpose: Used as Uninstall Program in SCCM for Creo Help Center 2.0 (M070)
REM Script date: 9/10/2013

REM Run the Creo Help Uninstaller silently
D:
cd\
cd Appli
cd "Creo 2.0"
cd Help
cd bin
uninstall.exe -quiet

REM This loop is needed because "uninstall.exe" launch a process called "pimunistall.exe"...

Hope these examples will help you to easily deploy Creo via your favorite deployment tool ! =)

Best regards.

Note

Creo 2.0 does not use a trail file like previous versions of Pro/E or Creo

Manually run the setup.exe in UI mode as an admin (this generates XML's)

Copy specific xml files to the network source installation directory:
 %installdir%\PTC\Creo 2.0\Common Files\M030\bin\pim\xml\crebase.p.xml
 %installdir%\PTC\Creo 2.0\Parametric\M030\bin\pim\xml\pma.p.xml
 %installdir%\PTC\Creo 2.0\Direct\M030\bin\pim\xml\dma.p.xml
 %installdir%\PTC\Creo 2.0\Simulate\M030\bin\pim\xml\sim.p.xml

Command line install:
setup.exe -xml %SOURCEDIR%sim.p.xml" -xml %SOURCEDIR%pma.p.xml -xml %SOURCEDIR%dma.p.xml -xml %SOURCEDIR%creobase.p.xml
