Error Installing Abaqus/SIMULIA Silent

 

Hello

 

Wondering if anyone has any pointers to installing Abaqus/SIMULIA 2025 , in silent mode.


I go through the process of creating a standard install, grab the xml's created as per the documentation and run the silent switch against the user intensions.xml

 

however i'm presented with the following error. 

Executing application 

{INSTALLPATH}\SIMULIA_EstablishedProducts\Windows64\1\inst\win_b64\code\bin\DSYInsInstallTxt.exe...
Executing application {INSTALLPATH}\SIMULIA_EstablishedProducts\Windows64\1\inst\win_b64\code\bin\DSYPcfgList...
Executing application icacls...
Installation in progress...
Environment incorrectly set : environment variables CATErrorLog or CATTemp must be set in order to obtain statistics files
Environment incorrectly set : environment variables CATErrorLog or CATTemp must be set in order to obtain statistics files

I've set the environmental paths as follows even before install. so wondering what i am missing.
Name:CATErrorLog

Variable:%LOCALAPPDATA%\DassaultSystemes\CATTemp\error.log

and
Name:CATTemp
%LOCALAPPDATA%\DassaultSystemes\CATTemp

in the env.txt I have the following which is extracted to C:\Program Files\SIMULIA\2025\EstProducts\2025\CATEnv on install has the following declared 

CATTemp=CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA\DassaultSystemes\CATTemp
CATErrorLog=CSIDL_LOCAL_APPDATA\DassaultSystemes\CATTemp\error.log

is there anyother location i need to update/change?

any help appreciated thanks.
