Hi there

I can't post anything in the Installing-Section, that's why I do it here.

Is there any method to install Maxwell for Rhino 2.7.22 x64 silently?

setup.exe -s doesn't work and -? doesnt give any usefull help. Also the MSI-File isnt' available to install.

I don't understand what you mean by saying the MSI isn't available. setup.exe is just a bootstrapper that ensures .NET, the VC++ runtime, etc, are installed, before then using msiexec to install the MSI itself, so for the plugin to be installed, the MSI definitely needs to be present.

I use msiexec to install the MSIs as a part of the build process, so I can tell you that it works fine. Checking quickly, it looks like setup.exe does too, but the parameters you are passing are not correct msiexec ones. For example, I can call setup /qn /l install.log, and it will pass those parameters along to msiexec, executing a quiet install and logging to the specified file. For a listing of msiexec parameters, you can use msiexec /help.
