Rhino and Flamingo installers are scriptable. You can create shortcuts to simplify installation of Rhino and Flamingo from the network.

Rhino and Flamingo installers accept the following command-line options:

/autoinstall

Tells the installer to run automatically without asking any questions.

/key=[cd-key]

[cd-key] is the CD-Key for the installation. Use this to install as a standalone node. The CD-Key can be one of two formats: XXXXYYYYZZZZ or XXXX-YYYY-ZZZZ

/workgroup_node

Install Rhino as a workgroup node. This option takes precedence over the /key option.

The Rhino installer accepts three additional options:

/path=[installpath]

[installpath] is the fully qualified destination path for the installation. Must be surrounded by quotes if the path contians spaces. (Rhino installer only - Flamingo always installs in the Plug-ins folder under the Rhino install folder)

/language_start=[languagename]

[languagename] is the English name of the language that Rhino will start in when first launched. The names that are recognized are English, Polish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Czech, Chinese - Simplified, Chinese - Traditional, Korean, and Japanese. Surround the language name by double-quote characters if it has one or more spaces in it.

If this parameter is missing, the starting language will be English.

/languages=[languagname,languagename,...]

Include one or more language names (in English) from the above list,  separated by commas, and surrounded by double-quote characters if any of the language names has a space in it. The support files for running in those languages will be installed. The language specified in /language_start should be included.

If this parameter is missing, only English will be installed.

Example:
/languages="English,Chinese - Traditional"

Remarks:

For Rhino to install automatically, you must:

  • use the /autoinstall option
  • provide a /path=
  • use one of the following options:
      /workgroup_node
      /key=

For Flamingo to install automatically, you must:

  • use the /autoinstall option

Examples:

  Setup_Rhinoceros.exe /autoinstall /workgroup_node /path="D:\Software\Rhinoceros 3.0"

To install Flamingo as a standalone node using CD-Key FL11-1234-5678-ABCD

  "Install Flamingo 1.1.exe" /autoinstall /key=12345678ABCD
