Disable NI Update Service for Multisim Silent Install

[RyanEngstrom]

I am working with Windows 7 Enterprise x64 clients.  I have a startup script to silently install Multisim using "setup.exe silent_install.txt /r:n /q /AcceptLicenses yes.  Everything appears to work properly, but it pauses on the 'NI Update Service' question.  There are four files open on the shared folder I am deploying from (setup.exe and three .dll files).  It never seems to finish.  If I reboot the machines, the install seems to have worked fine.  Is there a way to disable the prompt for 'NI Update Service' during silent install?

Hi Ryan,

The way I generate the spec file is to use the command:

setup /generatespecfile C:\path...\silent_insall.txt

By using the command, I can go thought the setup dialogs and at the end there is a dialog asking you if you check for updates, uncheck the checkbox.
