Info is in the 3DxWare folder called silent install.txt
===============================================
Since the 3DxWare installation is now a standard Windows Installer MSI
database, there are many tools that can be used to accomplish a silent install,
or otherwise modify the installation process.
There are also many options available to Active Directory Domain
Adminstrators for modifying and tailoring the installation to the needs of a
particular site.
The easiest way to execute a silent install is to run msiexec with the /q
command line option.
E.g.,
msiexec /i "3Dconnexion 3DxWare.msi" /q
The following msiexec command line Public Properties can also be used:
To change the default installation directory:
INSTALLDIR="new install directory"
To prevent the installer from launching the 3DxWare driver at the end:
LAUNCHPROGRAM=""
To tell the installer to not put the 3DxWare driver entry in the Startup folder:
NOAUTOSTART=1
To Prevent user-registration with the 3Dconnexion web site:
NOREGISTER3DXUSER=1
You can also tailor the features that get installed by creating a MSI transform
and applying that in the standard way. Normally, all features get installed.
To see a list of features, select Custom installation when running msiexec.
Setup.exe:
Setup.exe performs the same tasks as running the msiexec, except that it first
asks for the user's language preference, then applies the language transform
before running msiexec.

Hello Fred,
i have made the following observations when i installed the setup.exe and the msi s seperately.
the INSTALLDIR of the setup.exe is C:\Program Files\3DConnexion\3DConnexion 3DxSoftware while the INSTALLDIR of the MSI s is C:\Program Files\3DConnexion.Also,4 files are not installed by the msi,they are as follows:
ImageInteriorLarge.bmp
ishelper.dll
readme.txt
3dxicon.ico
Could you please advise if this will pose a problem while launching the shortcut etc.
