When upgrading from 1847 to 1859 the install is requesting access to the "Siemens Simcenter 3D" CD-ROM. What is causing this issue and how do I resolve it?
This affects anyone who wants to update Simcenter 3D 2019.1-1847 to Simcenter 3D 2019.1-1859. When you start Setup.exe to install Simcenter 3D 2019.1-1859, it will look for DVD if you originally installed Simcenter 3D 2019.1-1847 from a DVD. You will also have difficulty installing Simcenter 3D 2019.1-1859 is you downloaded the Simcenter 3D 2019.1-1847 and then deleted the download after installation.
The workaround for installing Simcenter 3D 2019.1-1859 is to run the following from a command line.
msiexec /p SiemensSimcenter3D.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus /qb+msiexec /p SiemensSimcenter3D2.msp REINSTALL=ALL REINSTALLMODE=omus /qb+
This issue will be resolved in the next release of Simcenter 3D.
