Modaris DVD description
1. AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION BY DEFAULT
As soon as the DVD is inserted in the PC an “Autorun” file will be executed which
automatically opens an html document: the setup guide.
1.1 Localized setup guide
The user can read this setup guide in a chosen language:
• It explains the Modaris installation process and associated recommendations,
• includes a “Modaris Installation” push button to directly pilot an automatic
Modaris installation,
• lists the applications installed by the Modaris installer,
• and includes another push button, “Update Lectra workstation”, to allow
upgrading other CAD workstations.
1.2 Modaris installer
Modaris Installer’s purpose is providing an easy self-installation mode.
This automatic Modaris installer, accessible from the setup guide as seen in 1.1, allows
deploying required packages with one unique installer.
Applications installed by Modaris installer:
• Modaris: Lectra Benchmark Pattern-Making Solution.
• 3D Prototyping: Lectra 3D Prototyping solution.
• Modaservice: Lectra service dedicated to Modaris data exchange.
• JustPrint: Lectra plotting solution.
• Other applications and tools: E-Manager, FLEXlm, GetInfo: Lectra tools
that respectively manage Lectra applications language, licensing, data
collection for support operations.
• ButtonBox and Digitizer: these 2 packages are processed only if they are
already deployed on the station. Thus, Modaris installer won’t deploy from
scratch ButtonBox or Digitizer.
1.3 Upgrader
A second automatic installer called « Upgrader » is reachable through the Setup Guide.
This upgrader is dedicated to all computers that are not Modaris stations.
MODARIS DVD Description 2
Modaris DVD description
This upgrader is to be executed on CAD workstations used for plotting or nesting: this
ensures compatibility with applications installed by Modaris installer.
It upgrades the following packages only if a previous release is already installed on the
station.
Upgraded applications by Upgrader:
• Modaservice: Lectra service dedicated to Modaris data exchange
• XChang: Lectra application dedicated to Dxf data import in VigiPrint.

2. CUSTOM DEPLOYMENT
All Lectra installation packages are based on MSI technology (MicroSoft Installer).
All Lectra installation packages described in this document are built with InstallShield
(version 12 and version 2001) from Flexera Software.
2.1 Using Modaris installer and Upgrader apart from DVD
Copy all the installer folder tree from the DVD (shown below) to guarantee a good
deployment of Modaris installer and its sub-packages.
The following picture shows, within the red rectangle, the complete “Installer” folder.
Then, execute Modaris installer, running the following program:
Packages\ModarisVxRy.exe
or execute the Upgrader, running the following program:
Packages\Related_Packages\Upgrader.exe
Installation Folder:
By default, the installation folder is <WINDIR>\Program Files\Lectra, where
<WINDIR> = OS deployment disk (generally “C:\”).
If you want to define another installation folder, see options below.
Options :
• To define a specific installation folder, for example: MY_INSTALLPATH,
the command line will be:
Package.exe■/v"INSTALLDIR=\"MY_INSTALLPATH\""
Note:
“■” represents a space character;
“Package.exe” represents the package to install.
“/v” is the option for defining parameters;
“INSTALLDIR” is the MSI Value to define with the specific installation folder;
Be careful to respect quotes””.
Example :
MODARIS DVD Description 4
Modaris DVD description
To install Modaris in following folder: “D:\ProgramFiles\Fashion_Solution”
The command line is:
Packages\ModarisVxRy.exe■/v"INSTALLDIR=\"D:\ProgramFiles\Fashion_Solution\""
• To avoid any dialog box asking for a reboot, you need to add the option
“norestart” as shown in following command line:
Package.exe■/v/norestart
Note:
“■” represents a space character;
“Package.exe” represents the package to install.
“/v” is the option for defining parameters;
“/norestart” is the argument for avoiding reboot. The reboot prompt at the end of
the Modaris Suite Installer deployment is due to a MSI Engine deployment. If MSI
engine is not installed on the Operating System then it will be deployed by Lectra
applications installation.
• The concatenation of these options gives the following command line
Package.exe■/v"/norestart■INSTALLDIR=\"MY_INSTALLPATH\""
Note:
“■” represents a space character;
“Package.exe” represents the package to install;
“/v” is the option for defining parameters;
Be careful to respect quotes””.
Example :
To install Modaris in following folder: “D:\ProgramFiles\Fashion_Solution”
The command line is:
Packages\ModarisVxRy.exe■/v"/norestart■INSTALLDIR=\"D:\ProgramFiles\Fashion_Solution\""

2.2 Creating a Custom Installation
Modaris installer and Upgrader are the standard Lectra deployment packages. They run
stand alone packages silently (no dialog box displayed for these stand alone packages).
If you want to create your own deployment scripts, it is mandatory to use the following
stand alone packages instead of Modaris installer or Upgrader.
Here-below the packages list, the applications they install and their location on the
DVD.

By default, the installation folder is <WINDIR>\Program Files\Lectra, where
<WINDIR> = OS deployment disk (generally “C:\”).
If you want to define another installation folder, see options below.

Options:
• To run each of those packages silently (no dialog box displayed for these
packages), the command line will be:
Package.exe■/s■/v/qn
Note:
“■” represents a space character;
“Package.exe” represents the package to install.
“/s” is the silent option for the package .exe
“/v” is the option for defining parameters;
“/qn” is the silent option for the package.msi (embedded in package.exe)
• To define a specific installation folder, for example: MY_INSTALLPATH,
the command line will be:
Package.exe■/v"INSTALLDIR=\"MY_INSTALLPATH\""
Note:
“■” represents a space character;
“Package.exe” represents the package to install.
“/v” is the option for defining parameters;
“INSTALLDIR” is the MSI Value to define with the specific installation folder;
Be careful to respect quotes””.
Example :
To install Modaris in following folder: “D:\ProgramFiles\Fashion_Solution”
The command line is:
ModarisVxRy.exe■/v"INSTALLDIR=\"D:\ProgramFiles\Fashion_Solution\""
• To avoid any dialogbox asking for a reboot, you need to add the option
“norestart” as shown in following command line:
Package.exe■/v/norestart
Note:
“■” represents a space character;
“Package.exe” represents the package to install.
“/v” is the option for defining parameters;
“/norestart” is the argument for avoiding reboot. The reboot prompt at the end of
the package installation is due to a MSI Engine deployment. If MSI engine is not
installed on the Operating System then it will be deployed by Lectra applications
installation.
• The concatenation of these options gives the following command line
Package.exe■/s■/v"/qn■/norestart■INSTALLDIR=\"MY_INSTALLPATH\""
Note:
“■” represents a space character;
“Package.exe” represents the package to instal;
“/s” is the silent option for the package .exe

3. IN CASE OF UPGRADE
If previous Lectra products versions are already installed, you will face an upgrade
process. These new versions packages are designed to face this upgrade so do not
uninstall previous versions. Run new packages installation as previously explained.
Once checking new versions are working you can uninstall previous versions if any
exist:
- In case of upgrading a corrective version, the new installed version has
replaced the previous one.
- In case of a major version upgrading (Modaris V6 on Modaris V5 for
example), the two different versions coexist and can work independently.
