AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 Silent
Install

The AVEVA™ Dynamic Simulation 2022 silent install does not install its dependencies. Ensure that these
dependencies are installed before using the silent install of AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022. The commands
below show how to install the AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 dependencies and AVEVA Dynamic Simulation
2022 silently. Note that the [AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 setup folder] below is where the AVEVA Dynamic
Simulation 2022 install setup.exe is copied, and that the whole path has to be surrounded by double quotes if it
contains a space.
NOTE: The command prompt should be opened in the Administrator mode for the commands to execute
without prompting the user for any action.
The whole silent install process is divided into two different scripts and should be run in sequence. After running
the AVEVA Dynamic Simulation pre requisite script, the system has to reboot to take effect of necessary pre
requisite installation. The AVEVA Dynamic Simulation install script should be run after rebooting the system.
o AVEVA Dynamic Simulation Pre requisite script
o AVEVA Dynamic Simulation Install script
Please refer the sample install scripts text files kept in install kit under the name of "Sample_dynsim_install"and
"Sample_dynsim_prerequisite" .
You can modify these files and save it to ".bat" and execute on command line as an Administrator.

AVEVA Dynamic Simulation Prerequisites

1. Install .NET 4.7.2 (Mandatory)
[AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 setup folder]\Microsoft .NET Framework 4.7.2
Setup\NDP472-KB4054530-x86-x64-AllOS-ENU.exe /q"
(This installation might not be required as this comes along with Operating System from Windows 10
onwards.)
2. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 SP1 Redistributable (Mandatory).
[AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 setup
folder]\Microsoft.2008.C++.Runtime\vcredist_x86-2008.exe/qn
3. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Redistributable (Mandatory)

folder]\Microsoft.2013.C++x86.Runtime\vcredist_x86.exe/q
5. Install Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2019 X64 Redistributable (Mandatory)
[AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 setup
folder]\Microsoft..2015-2019.C++x64.Runtime\vc_redist.x64.exe/q
6. Install USB driver 7.6.8 (Conditional). Note that this is needed only if you are going to run AVEVA Dynamic

Installer 7.6.8.exe/qn

AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 Command Line Install

Install Options
1. EXEROOT - AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 install location for executables (default: C:\Program files
(x86)\SIMSCI). Use double quotes around the path if it contains a space. Example: EXEROOT=”C:\Simsci”
2. PROGDATAROOT - AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 install location for program data (default: C:\Program
files(x86)\SIMSCI). Use double quotes around the path if it contains a space. Example:
PROGDATAROOT=”C:\Simsci”
3. USERDATAROOT - AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 install location for user data (default: C:\Program
files(x86)\SIMSCI). Use double quotes around the path if it contains a space. Example:
USERDATAROOT=”C:\Simsci”
4. SECURITY_TYPE - AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 security type, such as FNP1116,TOKEN1116 (default:
FNP1116). Example: SECURITY_TYPE=FNP1116
5. IPASSI_LICENSE_FILE - FLEXlm/TOKEN license manager (default: none). No need to specify this if you are
going to use USB for security. Example: IPASSI_LICENSE_LICENSE_FILE=@FLEXlmServer
6. ADDLOCAL – To specify which all features of AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 to install. If this option is not
used in the AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 silent install, the program will install MSDE2000Feature,
UserFiles, UAS, PDTS, and PFE_Editor. Features that can be specified include MSDE2000Feature, ABSimGUI,
AMG, Dynsim, Dynsim_ALL, Dynsim_Checkout, Translator_Server, Dynsim_Lite, Dynsim_Power, ETS,
OLGAInterfaceEngine, Excel_Engine_Link, OPC_Server_Engine, BulkConfigurator, ChangeManagement, SHM,
UAM, OpcUaServer.
NOTE:Unless ADDLOCAL=ALL is used, feature MSDE2000Feature must always be included in the list when
using the ADDLOCAL option. Examples: To install all features, use ADDLOCAL=ALL. To install just the AVEVA
Dynamic Simulation engine ADDLOCAL=MSDE2000Feature,Dynsim.

AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 Silent Install

7. MULTIINSTALL - to specify whether AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 can be run on single machine or
multiple machine. By default, the Multi Box option is No - Simulation can be run on a single machine only. To
install AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 on single box, use REMOVE=NamingSVC MULTIINSTALL="False"
MULTIINSTALLSTATE="First". To install AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 on multi-box, use
MULTIINSTALL="True" MULTIINSTALLSTATE="First".

Command Line Example

For SQL install
1. Install SQL Server Express 2014 (Mandatory for migration from s4m to js4m )
Extract SQL Express Payload to Local Folder
[Local folder]\SQL2014\sqlexpr_x86_enu.exe /q /x:"%cd%\SQL2014\Extract"
2. Run the SQL Setup form extracted Payload Setup.exe
[Local folder]\SQL2014\Extract\Setup.exe
/Configurationfile="%cd%\SQL2014\configurationFile_install63.ini"
/IAcceptSQLServerLicenseTerms="TRUE"

NOTE: From AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 default file extension for new and migrated simulation files is
"Js4m". If there is no need to migrate existing "s4m" format to "Js4m" then SQL server 2014 need not be
installed. If you do not want to install SQL 2014 while installing AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 silently, you
must comment the above-mentioned scripts.

AVEVA Dynamic Simulation install

Example of Single-Box installation
msiexec.exe /i [AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 setup folder]\AVEVADynamicSimulation2022.msi/qn
EXEROOT="C:\SIMSCI" PROGDATAROOT="C:\SIMSCI" USERDATAROOT="C:\SIMSCI" FNP1116
IPASSI_LICENSE_FILE=@FNPServer ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=NamingSVC SETFOLDERPERMISSIONS=NO
SHAREDDIR=%ARG1% MULTIINSTALL="False" MULTIINSTALLSTATE="First"
popd

Example of Multi-Box installation

msiexec.exe /i [AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 setup folder]\AVEVADynamicSimulation2022.msi/qn
EXEROOT="C:\SIMSCI" PROGDATAROOT="C:\SIMSCI" USERDATAROOT="C:\SIMSCI" FNP1116
IPASSI_LICENSE_FILE=@FNPServer ADDLOCAL=ALL REMOVE=NamingSVC SETFOLDERPERMISSIONS=NO
SHAREDDIR=%ARG1% MULTIINSTALL="True" MULTIINSTALLSTATE="First"
popd
The command above uses FNP1116 for security, installs AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 to C:\SIMSCI, and uses
machine @FNPServer for the FNP security. It also installs the AVEVA Dynamic Simulation engine, the Excel
engine and user added models support.

AVEVA Dynamic Simulation 2022 Silent Install

Silent Install through a Batch File

All the above commands can be written to a single text file and saved as a batch file. This batch file can be run
through the command prompt (Run as Administrator) and the installation will be done with single action.
A snapshot of the batch file is given below.
The "start /wait" argument at the start of every command will launch the respective msiexec.exe and then it will
wait for the install to finish before returning.
The batch commands that detect the SQL Server instance are written immediately after the SQL 2014 Server
installation commands. This reports unsuccessful installation of SQL and abort the installation.
