Open a command prompt window.
Browse to the directory in which your MS5dSPACEConnectorWindowsInstaller.exe file is located.
Run the silent installation process with the command MS5dSPACEConnectorWindowsInstaller.exe -f installer.properties (32-bit Windows) or MS5dSPACEConnectorWindowsX86_64Installer.exe -f installer.properties.
Note: If you created your installer.properties file in a directory other than the directory in which the MS5dSPACEConnectorWindowsInstaller.exe or MS5dSPACEConnectorWindowsX86_64Installer.exe file is located, you must specify the path to the installer.properties file when you run this command.
The INSTALLER_UI=SILENT line is not added automatically to the installer.properties file if it was created with the -r flag during installation. If the -r flag was used to create the installer.properties file, INSTALLER_UI=SILENT must be added as the first item in the file.
The template assumes MapleSim Connector for dSPACE Software will be installed into the C:\Program Files\Maple 15\toolbox\dSPACEConnector folder. If another location is desired, change the USER_INSTALL_DIR accordingly.
The template assumes MapleSim Connector for dSPACE Software desktop icons will be placed on your desktop. To change this, replace the lines in the "Install Desktop Shortcuts" section with:
