We try to install CMM in silent mode with the following command:

set CMM_INSTALL_DIR=c:\plm\cmm1001

set CMM_BASE_DIR=c:\plm\cmm1001

msiexec /qn /L* %COMPUTERNAME%_InstCmm.log /i "ContentMigrationManager.msi" INSTALLDIR="%CMM_INSTALL_DIR%" UGII_BASE_DIR="c:\plm\nx10" TC_ROOT="c:\plm\tc101" JAVA_HOME="c:\plm\java\jre7" UGS_LICENSE_SERVER="28000@sps050" ALLUSERS="1"

The "Parameter" INSTALLDIR is ignored, the SW is installed in C:\Program Files.....

Siemens PLM believes that the problem you reported where CMM 10.0.1 Silent Installation will install SW always in "C:\Program Files" has been investigated and the following has been found.

The problem where the CMM 10.1 silent installation will always install the incorrect command-line property for the installer. The correct property to set is APPLICATIONFOLDER rather than INSTALLDIR which is what the user has set.

APPLICATIONFOLDER is now being used as the main installation folder for the suite of products delivered on the CMM media.

The documentation has been modified for release 10.2.1 to reflect the installation options that exist for CMM and the text is reproduced below:

The Windows Installer packages included on this media have a variety of installation options that are available to the system administrator either by using the Launch.htm or by manually launching the installation packages from the command-line. The command-line options are also very helpful for customizing the installation when performing administrative or silent installations.
