By default the installer creates a DesignReview.exe shortcut on the desktop which corresponds to the install internal property (ADSK_DESKTOPSHORTCUT_1) value being equal to 1. To disallow setup from creating this shortcut, the property value has to be set to 0. To change this value when setup is run from a DOS prompt, use this command:
By default, Autodesk Design Review 2010 periodically checks for updates and opens a marketing dialog box when you first run the application. Administrators can now disable that functionality.
Prior to installing Design Review, the administrator must apply these parameters to the Setup.ini file.
Change the name of the full installation package executable to SetupDesignReview2010_bundle.zip.
Extract the zip file. The Setup.ini is in the root folder of the extracted files.
Modify the Setup.ini file:
In the [ADR] section, change the EXE_PARAM to EXE_PARAM=ADR_DONOTSHOWAGAIN=1 ADR_NEXT_INITIAL_CHECK=1 PREFERENCELOCKED=1
Save and close the modified Setup.ini file.
Run Setup.exe to install ADR with the new settings.
The expected result should show the registry settings for HKLM\Software\Autodesk\Design Review\Settings\AutoUpdate as follows:
DoNotShowAgain=1
InitialCheck=1
Locked=1
Autodesk Design Review 2010 should not check for updates now and you should not see the marketing dialog box when you first run the application.
