Silent/Unattended Install Quartus II Subscription Package 13.0 SP1

Hello,

i have problems with the silent installation of Quartus II Subscription Package 13.0 SP1. I must install the software at three pc pools.

QuartusSetup-13.0.1.232.exe" --mode unattended --unattendedmodeui minimal --installdir "C:\Altera"

I use this command line to install Quartus silent. The problem is that i cant select the software that i need. We don't have a licence for ModelSim Altera Edition and we will only use the starter edition. But there is the problem. It installs both versions. I need a option to select the edition.

The old installer had this option

altera_installer_cmd.exe" --install=quartus --exclude_quartus_64bit --install=devices --install=modelsim_ase --target="C:\Altera" --source="C:\altera_12.1sp1_243"

Is there an option to change this?

    I just have a similar problem in linux. I unpacked all the Quartus stuff, and just wanted to use the modelsim. The problem comes when I try to launch it in a server to make continuous integration...

    I found that my problem came with not having ia32-libs package installed. Modelsim is 32-bit binary.

    In my case, also, modelsim is packaged in a unique installer, with no need to install the full Quartus suite but just modelsim

    according to the manual you can use the --help switch to see the other install options via command line.

    Doing this shows a switch called 'modelsim_edition'

    It then shows: Default: modelsim_ase (starter edition), _ae I think is the Altera edition requiring a license

    Allowed: modelsim_ase modelsim_ae

    so to install it via command line silently, you would type or run a batch file with:

    "ModelSimSetup-13.0.1.232.exe --unattendedmodeui none --mode qt win32 unattended --modelsim_edition modelsim_ase"

      forget my post. it does NOT Work.

      I tried editing the switches to "ModelSimSetup-13.0.1.232.exe --unattendedmodeui none --mode unattended --modelsim_edition modelsim_ase" and it still fails.

      i'm trying to build an install package using this as a command-line installer, but fails.

      Does anyone have a working installer for remote installations?
