Installing GrowFX in Silent Mode

The installer's silent mode is intended for use in installing on remote machines. It is also useful for administrators to set up installations in which the person installing cannot change any installation options.

Command line format:
GrowFX_..._Setup.exe    [/S   /MAXVER=XXXX   /OSTYPE=XX   /MAXDIR="3ds Max root directory"   /DIR="Installation path"]

/S - turns on the silent mode (case sensitive);
/MAXVER - version of 3ds Max [ 9 / 2009 / 2010 / 2011 / 2012 ];
NOTE: For versions 1.7.0 and higher this parameter is ignored.

/OSTYPE - windows version [ 32 / 64 ];
/MAXDIR - full path 3ds Max root directory;
/DIR - installation path.

For example:
GrowFX_RenderNode_1_9_9_SP9_3dsMax_2020_Setup.exe /S /OSTYPE=64
/MAXDIR="C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2020\" /DIR="C:\Program Files\Exlevel\"
GrowFX_RenderNode_1_9_9_SP9_3dsMax_2020_Setup.exe /S /OSTYPE=64
/MAXDIR="C:\Program Files\Autodesk\3ds Max 2020\" /DIR="C:\Program Files\Exlevel\"
