Silent Installation/Uninstallation of 3DxWare
                ---------------------------------------------


Systems administrators may want to install or uninstall the 3DxWare 
without having to respond to each installation dialog box.  

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.
