How to Silently Install a Service Pack in AutoCAD

BIM Software Tip: How to Install a Service Pack Silently in AutoCAD

Answer:

First, download the service pack.

Then, open the command prompt and navigate to the folder where you saved the service pack by typing:

cd <path-of-your-downloaded-service-pack>

Press Enter.

Next, run the service pack installer silently with the following command:

<service-pack-name>.exe /quiet

Press Enter.

Example:

If you downloaded AutoCAD_2013_SP2_64bit.exe and saved it to c:acaddownloadsSP, enter:

cd c:acaddownloadsSP

Press Enter.

Then run:

AutoCAD_2013_SP2_64bit.exe /quiet

Press Enter.

If you want to convert the executable file to an MSP file for deployment, rename the .exe file to an .msp file by running this command:

<service-pack-name>.exe /e /<service-pack-name>.msp

Press Enter.

Example:

AutoCAD_2013_SP2_64bit.exe /e /AutoCAD_2013_SP2_64bit.msp

Press Enter.
